Karachi: Indian tennis star Sania Mirza is engaged to former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik and they might tie the knot next month, claimed a television channel here.
Geo television reported today that the two sporting superstars have got engaged and their marriage would take place in April.
Incidentally, Shoaib was earlier accused of marrying another Hyderabad girl, Ayesha Siddiqui, in 2002 over phone even though the cricketer said he was merely engaged to her.
Ayesha's father had also threatened to sue Malik for jilting the girl and not giving her divorce.
According to the channel, Shoaib's mother met Sania's parents in India and accepted her as future daughter-in-law
The news of Sania’s proposed marriage with Malik came two months after she called off her engagement to childhood friend Sohrab Mirza, citing “incompatibility”.
Six months after the engagement took place here amid much fanfare, Sania decided to part ways with Sohrab.
Interestingly, Shoaib Malik was also engaged to a girl from this southern Indian city a few years ago but he later called it off. The family of the girl had even claimed that he had married her but the Pakistani star denied this.
Malik had said in January 2008 that his marriage plans with Ayesha Siddiqui ended because both families could not reach an understanding on certain issues.
However, the girl’s family claimed that the marriage had taken place in 2002. Ayesha’s father M.A. Siddiqui had even threatened to sue Malik and demanded him to give a formal divorce.
Malik had met Ayesha in Dubai and they decided to marry. The Pakistani cricket team was given a grand reception by Ayesha’s parents at their residence here when the team toured India in 2005.
