Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed’s Relationship Under Scrutiny
Aside from the television controversy, Sana and Shoaib Malik’s relationship has also been under scrutiny. Reports claim that the two had been involved for three years before getting married in January last year. A report from Samaa TV suggested that they met on the sets of Jeeto Pakistan while Sana was still married to singer Umair Jaswal. Allegedly, Shoaib Malik would request Sana’s presence on shows he participated in, raising speculation about their relationship timeline.
Malik, who was previously married to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, also faced allegations of extramarital affairs. Reports from The Pakistan Daily claimed that Sania grew tired of these rumors, leading to their separation. Notably, Shoaib Malik’s sisters were absent from his wedding with Sana, further fueling speculation about family disapproval.
With the controversy still raging, fans continue to demand an apology from Sana Javed for her remarks against Sarfaraz Ahmed. Whether she chooses to address the situation publicly remains to be seen.
