Her family responds

Sania’s father Imran got a whiff of the rumors and came out to dismiss the claims. In an interview with NDTV, he said that there is no truth in the marriage rumours. He said, ‘This is all nonsense. She hasn’t even met him.”

The buzz

Speculations increased further when a distorted image of Sania and Mohammed Shami’s wedding surfaced in the virtual world. However, the image is a fake of her wedding photos with cricketer Shoaib from April 2010.

On June 12, the photo was posted to a Facebook account, showing Shoaib’s face superimposed on the original photo and replaced with that of Mohammed Shami.

More about Sania’s past

Earlier this year, Sania announced her divorce from her former Pakistan cricket team captain Shoaib Malik. In January, Shoaib Malik announced his marriage to Pakistani actor Sana Javed, “a few months” after his divorce.

Subsequently, Sania released an official statement confirming her divorce from the veteran Pakistani cricketer. “Sania has always kept her personal life out of the public eye. However, today the need has arisen for her to tell that Shoaib and she have been separated for a few months. She wishes Shoaib all the best for his new journey! At this sensitive period of her life, we would like to request all fans and well-wishers not to indulge in speculations and respect her need for privacy,” the statement said.
