Shoaib Malik revealed through a social media post on January 20 that he had married well-known Pakistani actress Sana Javed. This was his third marriage. ✅️

The announcement put an end to the speculations about his split from Sania Mirza. Even though it was initially unclear if Malik and the Indian tennis legend were divorced, there was more clarity later on.💔

Hours after former Pakistan cricket team captain Shoaib Malik announced his second marriage to actress Sana Javed, a family member of former India tennis player and first wife of Malik, Sania Mirza, said that the tennis ace had unilaterally divorced her husband.✅️

A family source told PTI that "it was a 'khula'", which refers to the right of a Muslim woman to divorce her husband unilaterally. Interestingly, in the initial PTI report, the same quote was attributed to Imran Mirza, the father of Sania.💯
