When Shoaib Malik was all set to get hitched to the Indian tennis legend, Sania Mirza, back in 2010, reports went rife which claimed that the cricketer was already married. As per reports, he married an Indian woman named Ayesha, aka Maha Siddiqui, who was a teacher from Hyderabad. They met online and allegedly got married in 2002, proof of which was shared by Ayesha when huge controversy erupted in the media.
The former couple got married over a phone call, but initially, Shoaib denied acknowledging his wedding to Ayesha. The latter then filed a police complaint against Malik for cheating her. Shoaib’s first wife only wanted a divorce from him. However, it was later revealed that she had also received INR 15 crore as alimony from the Pakistani cricketer. The cricketer eventually divorced Ayesha in April 2010, just a few days before marrying Sania, despite his initial denials. Approximately 10 to 15 mediators were involved in the negotiations between the two parties before the divorce was finalised.
After divorcing Ayesha Siddiqui, Shoaib Malik said ‘qubool hai’ to the Indian Tennis player, Sania Mirza. After only five months of courtship, the two decided to take their relationship to the next level. Their cross-border love story was not easy, and they were on the receiving end of severe backlash from both India and Pakistan. However, Shoaib and Sania managed to overcome all the obstacles on their path and got married in April 2010.
