Shoaib arrives at Sania’s residence
NEW DELHI: Pakistani cricket star and former captain Shoaib Malik reached today at the house of his wife-to-be Sania Mirza, India’s top tennis star, Geo News reported Saturday.In a latest video captured by the local media, Shoaib was seen standing at the terrace of Sania’s bungalow situated in Jubilee Hills of Hyderabad, where he made a surprise and unexpected visit to meet his fiance.
Shoaib’s surprise visit came amidst controversy brewing between the Maliks and the Siddiquis, who claim their daughter Ayesha got married to Shoaib Malik in 2002.
Shoaib Malik was caught on camera speaking over the phone on the balcony of Sania Mirza’s residence. Shoaib, Sania Mirza and her mother are seen together at the tennis ace’s residence in Hyderabad.
Sources said that Malik, who arrived in the city last night, preponed his visit 11 days ahead of the wedding scheduled on April 15, to workout the details, even as Pakistani television reports indicated that the venue would be shifted to a neutral venue most likely Dubai.
Earlier, reports suggested that Malik’s family has been granted visas by the Indian High Commission from April 6 onwards. Reports had then said that Shoaib was expected to come to India only on April 11. However, this unexpected visit is likely to spark more controversy for the Pakistani cricketer.
Earlier, Ayesha Siddiqui, who claimed to be Malik’s wife, sent legal notice to Shoaib and his brother-in-law Imran Zafar at the addresses of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Sialkot.
Talking to Geo News, Barrister Farooq Hasan said Siddiqui’s family decided to file and pursue case in Pakistan against the marriage and he has been contacted for the purpose.
Under present circumstances, Sania’s family is not in favour of wedding to be held in India; instead, the ceremony would be held in Dubai in view of aggressive mood of Siddiquis. It is expected that Valima reception will also be held on the same venue, as both the families want to avoid any untoward incident.
However, the booking for April 22 at a Lahore hotel has not been cancelled as yet by the Maliks.
