Shoaib Malik, the ex-Pakistan cricketer, is once again in the news, albeit for the wrong reasons. Malik had recently separated from his wife and Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza and married Pakistan actress Sana Javed.
The marriage happened in January 2024 and was announced on social media by both Pakistani celebs on their social media accounts. They shared pictures from their nikah ceremony. Since then, the two have been in the news for their nuptials and past marriages.
Shoaib was married to Sania Mirza earlier, while Sana's ex-husband is Pakistani singer-songwriter, Umair Jaswal. Sania and Shoaib married in 2010 and co-parent their son Izhaan Mirza Malik, who was born in 2018.
But now Shoaib Malik is in spotlight again for allegedly sending flirty messages to Pakistani actor Nawal Saeed on Instagram. In a recent interview on Pakistani chat show Life Green Hai, Nawal revealed receiving flirty DMs from several Pakistani cricketers.
Nawal revealed that her Instagram DM receives messages from many cricketers. And then she revealed that many of those cricketers are married, which left hosts Aijaz Aslam and Nadia Khan shocked.
One of the hosts then asked her if Pakistani cricketer Naseem Shah was one of them. However, she laughed it off. Then the host took Shoaib Malik’s name, but Nawal once again dodged the question and started laughing.
“Mujhe sirf ye lagta hai ki cricketers should not be doing that. Actors se zyada log cricketers/sportsman ko idolize karte hai (I feel cricketers should not do that, as people idolize them even more than actors). So if people consider you to be so big (you should not be sliding into DMs),” Nawal said.
When asked about the context of the messages, Nawal said, “I don’t want to talk about it.”
