Former Pakistan skipper and veteran all-rounder, Shoaib Malik, has been in headlines ever since he announced his third wedding with Pakistani actress Sana Javed. Shahid Afridi, Malik’s former Pakistani teammate, has also reacted to the surprising news.
Shoaib has always been in the spotlight for his personal life. There were a lot of rumors about his divorce from Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, but neither of them confirmed the same until recently.
Well, Shoaib’s announcement of his third marriage with Sana confirmed all the speculation about his separation from Sania Mirza, and even after his social media post about this wedding, the tennis star’s father revealed that the couple had parted ways a few months ago.
Now, reacting to Shoaib's third marriage, former Pakistan captain and star all-rounder Shahid Afridi made a cheeky comment. Afridi wished Shoaib and Sana a happy married life and expressed his hope that his former teammate and the actor could stay together for the rest of their lives.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Samaa TV journalist claimed that Shoaib and Sana were dating each other for three years, and nobody knew about his separation from his ex-wife Sania in the country.
The Pakistani TV channel's journalist revealed: “Sana Javed and Shoaib Malik have been meeting for the last three years. At that time, Sana Javed was already married to Umair Jaswal. She met Shoaib Malik in Jeeto Pakistan. Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed started meeting consecutively in the show.
Also, let me tell you, Shoaib Malik used to put conditions before appearing in the shows that he will only come in the shows if Sana Javed will be invited as guest, no actor noticed this thing because Sana Javed was already married to Umair Jaswal. People were curious about Ayesha Omar, but the real reason was something else.”
He signed off saying on Shoaib-Sania’s divorce, “Itni khamosi se ye talaq hui, itni khamoshi se ki jaise kisi mulk me aatmee mansooba jo hai wo paya tak pahuchaya jata hai, chup karke khamoshi se (it all happened so quietely that no one came to know about the separation, it was all very silent).”
