    Former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik recently tied the knot for the third time, this time with Pakistani actress Sana Javed. The surprise announcement ignited a fresh wave of interest in Malik's personal life. Amidst the buzz, an old video featuring Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, Sania Mirza, and Shoaib Malik has resurfaced, shedding light on the dynamics of their relationship.

    During the candid interview, SRK curiously questioned Mirza about the qualities that led her to marry Shoaib Malik. With a touch of humour, Sania responded, "I have not seen much, he is very shy. You will have to teach him to talk."

    Shoaib Malik's Swift Response To SRK's Inquiry

    Not missing a beat, SRK redirected the same question to Malik, asking him what he liked about Sania that made him fall in love.

    In a surprising revelation, Malik shared, "Sochne ka time nahi mila, use pehle shaadi ho gayi (Didn't get time to think, got married before that)," indicating the whirlwind nature of their courtship. After Shoaib's answer, SRK jokingly said "You are in India now, so don't mess up even by mistake."

    A Glimpse Into Sania & Shoaib's Past

    The video gained traction on social media following Malik's recent marriage to Sana Javed. The public's interest in the former couple's relationship was reignited, with the footage capturing a jovial moment when SRK, Sania Mirza, and Shoaib Malik shared the stage. The trio seemed to be in high spirits, contributing to the video's nostalgic appeal.

    While Malik's past with Mirza has been well-documented, recent revelations from Pakistani journalist Naeem Hanif shed light on his three-year-long relationship with Sana Javed.

    The couple initially crossed paths on a television reality show, cultivating a strong connection that persisted despite their respective marriages to other individuals.

    Rumours Surrounding The Separation

    Speculations regarding the separation of Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik first surfaced in 2022. A close source to Mirza has disclosed that she had taken 'Khula' from Malik, paving the way for his subsequent marriage to Sana Javed. The rumours gained momentum as Malik and Sana were reported to have known each other since 2022, evident from a shared picture on Instagram.

    Before his marriage to Sania Mirza in 2010, Malik's personal life was marred by controversy involving Ayesha Siddiqui. Reports suggest that Malik had a phone marriage with Ayesha in 2002, leading to a legal dispute and eventual divorce settlement amounting to Rs 15 crore.
