Amid continued rumours of separation from retired Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik announced on Saturday that he has tied the knot with Pakistani actress Sana Javed.
Taking to his Instagram handle, the former Pakistan all-rounder shared several pictures of his nuptials with the divorced Pakistani actress.
Sana, too, took to her social media handles to share dazzling images from their ‘Nikah’ ceremony.
The newlyweds shared the images from the wedding ceremony with the caption, “And We created you in pairs”.
Both of them looked stunning as they posed happily in their wedding ensembles.
The confirmation of the wedding came amid frenzied rumours of Splitsville with the Dubai-based Indian tennis star.
