Sania Mirza and Shoaib MalikIndian tennis player Sania Mirza is all set to enter into wedlock with Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik in April, just two months after she broke her engagement with childhood friend Sohrab Mirza.
The media went abuzz with reports of their engagement. However, later Sania's family said there will be no engagement prior to the wedding. "A formal wedding reception has been scheduled within a month. There will be no engagement function" they said.
While Pakistan’s Geo Television broke the news on Monday, Sania’s father, Imran Mirza, told Indian media the wedding will take place within a month.
This news was confirmed by Imran Mirza, father of Sania, late on Monday night. “The couple will be based in Dubai, where Shoaib is a resident, and Sania will continue to play tennis once she recovers fully from the wrist injury that has marred her career in the recent past,” Imran said.
“My wedding is going to be the biggest day of my life.I have been under constant glare of the public for too long and would appreciate more privacy at this very personal moment in my life,” CNN-IBN quoted tennis sensation Sania Mirza as saying. “I hope to be fully fit to represent India in the Commonwealth and Asian Games that are scheduled for later this year,” she added.
Incidentally, Shoaib was earlier accused of/alleged to have married and abandoned another Hyderabad girl, Ayesha Siddiqui, in 2002 over the phone, even though the cricketer said he was merely engaged to her. Ayesha’s father had also tried to threaten Shoaib to give Ayesha divorce before proceeding ahead. He also dated (was linked with) Bollywood actress and ex-Miss India Sayali Bhagat.
“The news of me marrying Sania is true. Inshallah, we’ll get married in April,” Malik tweeted.
Sania reportedly met Shoaib Malik in Dubai in February during a tournament and then they began seeing each others. But, according to some Pakistani media reports, Sania and Shoaib have been in a relationship for the last six months. This had led to disruption in the Hyderabad girl's earlier engagement to childhood friend Sohrab Mirza. This is the reason why Sania Mirza's engagement with Sohrab Mirza broke. Finally, families of Shoaib and Sania talked and finalized the wedding between the two sports champions.
It is believed that Shoaib's mother met Sania's family in Hyderabad and finalized their marriage. The wedding ceremony of both the sports stars will take place in April, while the walima reception will be hosted by Shoaib on April 16 or 17 in Lahore, The News reports.

Sania Mirza, Shoaib Malik Relationship to open a new chapter in Indo-Pak Ties
The sports community in India and Pakistan received a pleasant surprise yesterday, when Pakistan's Geo TV reported that India's tennis sensation Sania Mirza got engaged to former Pakistan cricket captain Shaoib Malik and will tie the knot in April.
While the news was verified by Sania Mirza's parents, it is set to open a new chapter in the soured relations between India and Pakistan.
Sania Mirza's career is on the decline after her broken engagement to her childhood friend, Sohrab Mirza. Shoaib is also going through a lean patch, as he is facing a ban imposed by the PCB for allegedly breaching the code of conduct.
While Sania's engagement to Sohrab Mirza was called off for some "unavoidable" reasons, Shoaib was involved in a marriage dispute with Ayesha Siddiqui from Hyderabad.
On late Monday night, Shoaib Malik confirmed his relations with Sania Mirza. "The news of me marrying Sania is true. Inshallah, will get married in April", he wrote on his Twitter account.
While the marriage is scheduled to be held in India, a grand reception will be held in Lahore, said the sources. Sania and Shoabi may settle down in Dubai, it is believed. Shoaib Malik holds a UAE passport.
