Exclusive: Sania-Shoaib wedding reception Video

HYDERABAD: Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik, who got married to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza this week, moved the Indian High Court on Thursday for return of his passport.

The counsel for Malik requested the judge for hearing on the application but the judge said it can be heard on Friday and posted the matter accordingly. Malik’s passport is in the possession of a local court.

Hyderabad Deccan police had taken away Malik’s passport on April 5 and had asked him not to leave the country after a case was registered against him over a complaint from Ayesha Siddiqui who claimed to be Malik’s first wife.

After Malik divorced Ayesha, the Siddiqui family submitted an application to Hyderabad Police to withdraw the case against the all-rounder

Hyderabad, April 13 (IANS) A day after Sania Mirza’s marriage with Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, wedding ceremonies began at the residence of the Indian tennis ace here.

The bride and her bride-groom arrived at her residence in Jubliee Hills Tuesday, formally kicking up series of ceremonies. The couple stayed at Taj Krishna hotel after their ‘nikah‘ Monday afternoon.


Since Sania and her husband were paying first visit to the house after the marriage, they were given a traditional and warm welcome by her parents. Imran Mirza and his wife Naseema along with other family members came out of the house to receive the newly-wed couple.

‘Mehendi’, a pre-wedding ceremony, began Tuesday with the arrival of relatives and close friends of Sania and family members of Shoaib at Sania’s house, which has been decked up and illuminated for the occasion.

‘Sangeet’, a ceremony with musical programme, is scheduled to be held Wednesday while Sania’s family will host a gala wedding reception at the hotel. The bride’s uncle and Gazal singer Talat Aziz is set to perform at ‘Sangeet’.

Sources close to the family said since the two families advanced the ‘nikah’, the pre-wedding ceremonies like ‘mehendi’ were being held after the wedding.

Sources said the ‘nikah’ was advanced to avoid further controversies. Islamic scholars Sunday issued a ‘fatwa’ terming as un-Islamic the proximity between Sania and Shoaib before the marriage.

Sania’s family earlier stated that ‘nikah’ would take place April 15.

Shoaib, 28, wed the 23-year-old Sania at a brief and simple ceremony held at the hotel. Under ‘nikahnama’ or marriage contract, the former Pakistani skipper agreed to pay Rs.61 lakh as ‘mehr’ to Sania.

The Pakistani batsman last week divorced his first wife Ayesha Siddiqui after a bitter row surrounded the three families for a fortnight.

Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik married Indian tennis star Sania Mirza at a "nikah" ceremony held at Hotel Taj Krishna in Hyderabad today, a spokesperson for the bride's family said.



"The 'nikah' is now completeed. Please pray for the couple," Rucha Nayak, the spokesperson told reporters outside the hotel.

Sania, 23, was clad in a red saree that her mother Nasima wore for her "nikah" 25 years ago, sources said. The 28-year-old former Pakistan cricket captain wore a black sherwani designed by Shantanu and Nikhil, they said.

The media was taken a bit by surprise when the two families announced this morning that the wedding would take place today. Earlier, there were reports that the ceremony would take place on April 9. Another version said the wedding would take place on the morning of the reception, scheduled for April 15.

According to the sources, the "mehandi" ceremony will take place tomorrow and the "sangeet" the day after.

The two sports stars had surprised their fans by announcing on March 29 that they were getting married. Only weeks earlier, Sania had opted out of an engagement to Sohrab Mirza, also of Hyderabad, citing reasons of incompatibility.

It was a stormy run-up to the wedding, with a Hyderabad girl, Ayesha Siddiqui, in her mid-30s, saying that Shoaib had married her in 2002.

What followed was an emotional roller-coaster ride for all concerned for a full week, with all of India and Pakistan watching spell-bound.

Shoaib denied he had married Ayesha and maintained that he, in fact, had never met her.

Ayesha insisted she had been married to him and that they had shared an intimate relationship and claimed she had evidence to back all this up. She filed a complaint with the police, and they turned up at Sania's house to question Shoaib. They also impounded his passport and mobile phone.

Ayesha claimed Shoaib had lost interest in her because she had become obese. All she wanted, she said, was a divorce so that she could move on in her life. Shoaib, of course, said there could be no divorce, because there had been no marriage in the first place.

Chicago-based businessman Feroze Jalal says Ayesha Siddiqui is no pained wife, and that she tried to con him the same way she ‘framed’ Shoaib Malik.

Hyderabad is my hometown —which I will soon be visiting, probably in June. I’m currently settled in Chicago with my wife. When I read the news about Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and his alleged link up with the Hyderabad based-Ayesha Siddiqui, what immediately struck me was the name of the woman — since I’ve known her, and had a similar experience, many years back. And in light of that experience, I feel that Ayesha may well have framed Shoaib. What has happened with Shoaib is very sad, and I can understand it better than most because I have gone through similar trauma, because of what Ayesha had done with me a few years back.


In 1997, while I was in Jeddah, I started receiving some crank calls on my phone. I found out that it was my ex-girlfriend’s friend who was making the calls. I then got to know her name —Ayesha Siddiqui. Yes, the same Ayesha who supposedly has just ‘divorced’ Shoaib Malik.

I was only 20 years old at that time. I would keep getting these crank calls everyday. Finally, I decided to speak to her. She introduced herself as Ayesha Siddiqui. Slowly, we both started talking. Sometimes, we’d talk over the phone for hours and hours. She has a typical Pakistani accent. One day, I asked her if she would meet me, and she readily agreed. We decided to meet at a super mall in Jeddah. When I reached the mall and waited for her, a slim, beautiful girl walked up to me and introduced herself, saying, ‘Hi, I’m Ayesha.” We sat and chatted for some time, but after she left, I realised that her voice didn’t sound the same as it did on the phone. I had my doubts. I therefore got in touch with one of my friends, who was Ayesha’s neighbour. His description of Ayesha was very different from what the girl I had met looked like, and he also told me that the girl who had come to meet me at the mall was not Ayesha, but a friend of hers. The next time that I asked Ayesha to meet me, she didn’t turn up at all.
On the phone, Ayesha would cry, and ask me to marry her all the time, and I would refuse. She was crazy and madly in love with me, or so I thought. I finally got irritated of all this and stopped attending her calls. Our relationship lasted only for about six months.

Finally, later, I got to know about Ayesha’s real identity, her family, etc, through a common friend. I got to know that she had been calling other boys too, and talking to them the same way, and trying to somehow force them to marry her. In fact, one of my close friends, whom I’ll just call K (since his family doesn't know about all this), who was at that time staying in Hyderabad, had started receiving similar crank calls from Ayesha. When I told K about Ayesha, he also gave up talking to her. He is now, fortunately, happily married and settled in Australia.

I strongly feel that Ayesha needs proper medication. She seems normal to speak to at first, but she is not quite a ‘normal’ personality. I think she is just looking for fame and money. What appears stranger is that her parents seem to be supporting her in all this. She has probably trapped Shoaib and framed him.
And yes, I’m saying this all on record, as my wife is fully aware of this episode.

Awaz Apni HYDERABAD: Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik entered matrimony at a Nikah ceremony today. Dressed in a beautiful red saree, Sania posed pretty as she headed for the venue on Monday, an Indian TV channel reported.
Earlier today, Sania Mirza’s spokesperson Rucha Nayak confirmed that Shoaib and Sania would materialise their Nikah on Monday, followed by mehndi ceremony on April 13, sangeet on April 14 and the reception will be held on April 15 as scheduled.
Nevertheless, Sania’s PRO also revealed that the tennis star will be wearing the same red saree, which her mother wore at her own Nikah 25 years back. Also, she is stated to go for a subtle make-up and the much raved about Arabic mehndi. On the other hand, Shoaib is set to wear a Black sherwani designed by renowned designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil.

Awaz Apni Hyderabad: Breaking News! In a dramatic development, Sania Mirza married Shoaib Malik at Hotel Taj Krishna minutes ago. The nikah took place in the presence of selective family members and relatives.


Earlier, it was reported that Sania and Shoaib's wedding will take place on April 15. However, they took the media and public by surprise with a statement that their nikaah will be held today on April 12.

Sania was seen coming out of the house in a red-coloured desiner wedding saree. She wore the same saree, which her mother wore during her own wedding 25 years ago. Shoaib Malik's picture was not available when this article was being written.

Seven vehicles carrying 25/30 people started from Sania's residence and reached Hotel Taj Krishna, where the wedding took place. The nikah was reportedly pre-scheduled due to security reasons.

Other ceremonies such as sangeet and mehndi may be held over the next two days. A grand reception will be held at Hotel Taj Krishna in Hyderabad on April 15.

Once marked for glory, Shoaib Malik has battled the initial storm to be with Sania Mirza, but will he drive into the sunset with her? An entire subcontinent is watching...

It is not known whether Sania Mirza or the now-happily-divorced Ayesha Siddiqui are aware that as a child growing up in the early '80s in the dusty bylanes of Sialkot, Shoaib Malik's sole passion was to fly kites. Perhaps it was here that he realised a kite always rises against and not with the wind.

Opposition, discord, two-timing and turbulence are nothing new for those adept at surfing the irresolute waves of Pakistan cricket - a world mired in flagrant double cross, prone to imploding under its own stresses. Shoaib, former Pakistan skipper, man of many roles, victim and instigator of many a smoke-and-mirror game, has risen to being its Everyman.


As an international batsman of some repute, he is the antithesis of every past Pakistani great. Shoaib is not mercurial in his strokeplay nor given to being a man of violent passions on the field of play. The keenest eye has to strain hard to spot any glimpse of beauty or grace in his batting, yet his quiet effectiveness brooks no arguments. His off-breaks, often subject to scrutiny and hauled up for their illegality, are flattish and workmanlike, but quite perfect for modern cricket's restrictive needs.

This was where he began, with the ball, in a one-day debut in Sharjah against the West Indies in 1999. Throughout - even now as he resolutely serves a legal notice to the Pakistan Cricket Board for having banned him from international play for a year - Shoaib has been adept at working his way up. His strength, this flexibility, has also been his weakness: there are enough performances of character, yet few standout moments in a decade-long career.

Shoaib's biggest backer was his father, Malik Faqueer Hussain, or Malik Salim as Shoaib refers to him, a shopkeeper of modest means who sold local footwear. He used to drop Malik junior to the playgrounds on the bicycle and people would say, "Baap beta pagal hain (both father and son are mad)." Shoaib started off, like millions of budding Pakistani cricketers, with tape ball cricket. Then, in 1993, he attended Imran Khan's Pepsi coaching clinic in Sialkot and his life turned around. From there it went like a dream - from the trials for the Under-15 World Cup in Lahore to the series against the England Under-19 s, from impressing Wasim Akram and Moin Khan with his tweakers in the Wills Cup to, eventually, a national berth.

In all this, Shoaib never forgot his father's support. When Malik Salim died of throat cancer in 2006, Shoaib broke down in an interview, acknowledging how his father used to pack cricket gear into his school bag instead of books. There are rumours Salim was vehemently against Shoaib jilting Ayesha, but they remain, much like everything else in this relationship, more shadowplay than acknowledged fact.

Always a prolific scorer against India, his effectiveness as a handy middle-order bulwark soon began to emerge. In Tests, he averages a modest 36. 11 from only 29 games. In ODIs, where he is more effective, centuries have come as an opener, at one-down and at number four, though his most entertaining innings remains the 41-ball 82 against South Africa in 2003, at No. 6. In 2006, he had a glorious run against India, scoring 90, 95 and 108 in successive home ODIs. The first Test hundred too came that year, against Sri Lanka, but the Shoaib we know today would not have emerged without the late Bob Woolmer's tutelage, and Pakistan's shambolic 2007 World Cup campaign in the wake of which he was made captain.

Shoaib was only 25, and marked for greatness by none other than Imran Khan for his "sharp cricketing brain". But sadly, when he lost the captaincy in February 2009 after a string of indifferent performances and perennial infighting, the PCB accused him of being "aloof", stating there was "nothing exciting in his captaincy". He couldn't command a place by virtue of form alone and he had problems with seniors, notably Mohammad Yousuf, once his best friend in the team. "It was unanimously decided he should play just as a player," the PCB said.

Even the highs of that period, notably the run to the final in the World T20 in Johannesburg, were soured by Shoaib's often blunt and uncultivated comments, like when he said after Pakistan lost the final to India: "I want to thank you back home [in] Pakistan and where the Muslim lives all over the world." Outrage followed, but he would soon follow it up with a bloomer in Durban when, after his team lost to India this time in a bowlout, he said he had no idea what the rules were. Back in 2005, in Hyderabad, he had accepted marrying a local girl during a game before immediately retracting his statement. Increasingly, it was becoming clear Shoaib's reliability had always been a matter of perspective.

Today, professionally and personally, he seems to be at his lowest ebb. A string of defeats to Australia have resulted in another knee-jerk reaction from the administration and a one-year ban for unspecified reasons, though local media speculated he was suspected of match-fixing. With the impending marriage to Sania will come intense media and public scrutiny, especially in Pakistan. Perhaps even talk of his past foibles and anxieties about a looming culture clash. Yet Shoaib is nothing if not resilient. That famed suppleness and flexibility may again see this man through. His cricketing career proves he may often tie himself in knots, but is equally adept at untangling them. A lasting cross-border marriage with the glamour queen of Indian sport may silence the cynics like never before. The unlikely hero may yet have the last laugh.

Sania Mirza is known for controversies, She was once criticized for disrespecting Indian flag. But even Shoaib Malik is not new to controversies, He was involved in another controversy in 2007. At that time SRK came in his defence:
Interviewer: “Then how do you respond to what had happened at the T20 World Cup finals? You were there. The Pakistani team lost the match to India, and the Pakistani captain, Shoaib Malik, at the podium said 'My apologies to the entire Muslim community across the world'. You think he went out of line there?”

Shah Rukh Khan: No, I don't think so. I think, you know, because he comes from a nation which is Islamic, in a large sense, and I think he meant a lot of people must have given him duas, and when somebody gives you dua, he assumes they must be Muslims, and he must have said it as a way of speaking.
I don't think he meant to segregate Muslims and Christians and Hindus and say this was a match between Islam and Hinduism. I don't think that.
Interviewer: Because it created a lot of controversy'

Shah Rukh Khan: I know, and I think the way he spoke it out, he just meant the people who prayed. A lot of peoplemust have prayed, we all prayed. I'm a Muslim, I also do dua, and I don't think he meant it as a rift between the Hindu and the Muslim thing.

Interviewer: I mean, the irony couldn't have been completed better, because the Man of the Match of that match was Irfan Pathan, someone who came from Baroda, and here was Shoaib Malik who was talking about how the Muslim community must have been affected.

Shah Rukh Khan: I think more than the irony we should recognise the fact that these differences are no differences. You play the game, you win it and you lose it; it's got nothing to do with any religion. I think it was misconstrued what he said. I think it was just meant to be that a lot of people have given you duas when you are coming here, so I'm sorry all the Muslim guys. I think he just meant it in the general sense.

KARACHI: Former captain of Pakistan cricket team Shoaib Malik has expressed gratitude for nation and media for supporting him.
In a statement, Shoaib said he is thankful to God and Pakistani nation who extended full support during his tough times. He said God knows everything and said he will personally thank the media friends as soon as he reach back home.

“ I apologize if anyone feels hurt as far as my decision is concerned,” Shoaib added.
On the other hand, Indian police said investigations are on as the case against Shoaib Malik has not been abolished.

Sources further told that the committee has also taken notice of inappropriate attitude with Shoaib Malik in India and would get briefing from the officials of the Sports Ministry in this regard.

Chairman Senate Standing Committee, Abdul Ghafar Qureshi while contacted by Online told that the Standing Committee has summoned high officials of PCB and the ministry over issue of former captain of Pakistan Cricket Team, Shoaib Malik.

The Chairman Senate body also congratulated Pakistan Blind Cricket Team over its brilliant performance against England in Twenty-20 and one-day series and urged players of Pakistan Cricket Team to take lesson from blind Cricket Team.

KARACHI: Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has sent a notice to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) seeking clarification on the Board’s decision to slap him with a one-year ban and a penalty of Rs2 million.

A senior PCB official confirmed on Wednesday that the Board has received the notice from Malik’s lawyer, adding that the PCB will respond to the notice soon.

“We will respond to Shoaib Malik’s notice soon in which he has sought justification over his punishment,” said PCB media director Nadeem Sarwar.


Sarwar made it clear that Malik hasn’t appealed against the punishment so far. “We are yet to receive a formal appeal from Malik. The deadline for filing the appeals is April 16.”

Malik, who is currently in Hyderabad (India) for his upcoming marriage with tennis star Sania Mirza, was one of the seven leading Pakistani cricketers who were penalised for a variety of offences ranging from indiscipline to ball-tampering.

Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik has granted a divorce to a woman he says tricked him into marrying her, defusing a row that threatened to delay his wedding with Indian tennis star Sania Mirza.
Imran Qadri, a community elder in the Indian city of Hyderabad, said Malik divorced Ayesha Siddiqui on Wednesday.

The Siddiqui family have now withdrawn a police complaint against Malik over his plans to wed Mirza, Mr Qadri said.
Shoaib signed the talaq nama (divorce papers) after leaders said that the public splashing and scrutiny of the episode had brought a bad name to the community.
The police complaint against Shoaib was taken back and it was agreed that the cricketer would pay a maintenance amount of Rs.15, 000 paid to Ayesha as per Islamic law

Ayesha’s mother expressed relief and said her daughter had finally received justice.

“My daughter wanted a divorce without money and that has happened. Malik has come clean and I am very happy and relieved that finally he gave a divorce. The charges on him have been withdrawn. The complaint application has been withdrawn,” she added
There was no immediate comment from Malik or Mirza. He had accused the Siddiqui family of deceiving him.

Hyderabad: At a time when Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik is fighting to clear his name off the allegations of marrying another Hyderabadi girl Ayesha Siddiqui, speculations are rife that the cricketer and the Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza tied the knot in Dubai before Shoaib landed in India a week ago.

since Malik is staying at Sania’s house in Hyderabad, it has been assumed that the Taj Krishna hotel has been booked not for the Nikah, but for a reception, scheduled to take place on April 15.
Sania’s wedding card, which has only the reception date, has also added fuel to the fire in the case. The news came at a time when several people claimed that the date of marriage would be postponed.

Police sources told Mumbai Mirror that Ayesha had handed over some semen-stained clothes as evidence for the consummation of her marital life with Shoaib and the material had been sent for forensic tests. Based on the forensic report, the police, if required, will collect the blood samples for DNA tests.

Based on the results, police will decide whether to collect Shoaib’s blood samples for DNA testing Meanwhile, the Central Crime Station (CCS) police - who took over the investigation of the case from the Banjara Hills police - are likely to question Ayesha and Shoaib yet again. The Banjara Hills police had already recorded their statements on Monday. Meanwhile, a group of lawyers belonging to the All India Forward Block (AIFB) lodged a complaint with the State Human Rights Commission seeking a stay on Shoaib and Sania’s marriage, as he is facing criminal case of cheating, harassing and criminally intimidating his alleged first wife Ayesha. They also lodged a complaint with the Banjara Hills police against Sania Mirza. “Our government gave her house, awards and rewards for bringing pride to the nation. But, she is going as the daughter-in-law of another country. We have no objection if she wants to marry Malik but she should surrender what she has to the government,” the AIFB leaders said. Several women organisations also met Ayesha at her residence, offering her support in her fight for justice.

New Delhi, April 6 (IANS) Shoaib Malik’s brother-in-law Imran Zafar Tuesday arrived in Delhi to meet the Pakistani cricketer’s lawyer and decide the further course of action in fighting the charges slapped against him by Ayesha Siddiqui who claims to be his first wife.
Refusing to comment on the issue, Zafar responded to reporters’ queries here by saying: “We will see what happens.”


Malik, who is set to marry Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, has been in the eye of a storm over his alleged marriage to Ayesha Siddiqui.

Ayesha Sunday lodged a police complaint in Hyderabad against Shoaib for cheating her and going ahead with his second marriage with Sania without divorcing her. She filed the complaint under sections 498 A (harassment), 420 (cheating) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.

The cricketer approached Delhi-based lawyer Ramesh Gupta, who has appeared in high-profile cases like the BMW hit-and-run case and the Rahul Mahajan drug overdose case, to represent him.

Zafar has reportedly come to Delhi to consult him and decide the further course of action.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistani cricket team's Opening batsman Imran Nazir rejects Ayesha Siddiqi's statement that he spoke with her on the phone as being Shoaib's wife.

Talking to a private news channel Imran Nazir said that Shoaib Malik is his close friend but he never spoke to his fiancé on phone. 


"What she has said about me is absolutely wrong" he declared.

All Rounder Abdul Razzaq said that he went to Ayesha Siddiqi's home with Shoaib Malik during Pakistan cricket team's tour to India in 2005 but he didn't met the girl.

He maintained that the players of cricket team met with Ayesha's mother and father but Ayesha was not at the home.

Both the cricketers wished good luck to Shoaib and Sania for their wedding and said that the whole cricket team of Pakistan is very happy for them.

As Ayesha continue with her tirade of allegations, Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik is drawing support from his former team-mates, with other sports personalities of Pakistan as well as film stars throwing their support behind Shoaib’s innocence.


Coming out strongly in favour of Shoaib, his former teammate and ex-cricket team captain Rashid Latif said the Ayesha shown on TV was not the not his colleague had fallen in love with.

“Shoaib Malik used to borrow my laptop for chatting with a girl and he did show me a few pictures of her. I can assure you that the girl I saw in pictures is not the one on TV these days,” Latif was quoted in media reports from Pakistan.

“I can go to any forum including a court of law to reiterate my statement, and I appeal to all cricketers to stand by Shoaib Malik on this issue,” he added.

Pakistani hockey player Rehan Butt has also come out in defence of Shoaib.

“This is another instance of where the Indian media is holding a media trial of Malik without knowing the truth. He has gone there to marry an Indian girl and that is something they can’t digest,” Butt said.

Star actor Saud has urged the media to let Shoaib and his would-be-bride Sania Mirza settle the matters alone.

“It is a personal matter involving Malik, Mirza and even Ayesha. It is something they have to resolve among themselves. Why spoil their happiness?” asked Saud.

Actress Meera, on the other hand, maintained that the media coverage on Ayesha’s allegations has helped garner support for Shoaib in India.

“The way he is being portrayed in the Indian media, there is a lot of sympathy for him now,” she said.

Hyderabad girl Ayesha and her family have claimed that Shoaib had married her over phone but later dumped her due to 'weight issues'.

The cricketer has been maintaining that Ayesha’s family had cheated him by sending photographs of a different girl and he had backed out when he found out that he had been duped.

Ayesha has moved criminal proceedings against Shoaib and the later has also been questioned at the Mirzas residence at Hyderabad on Monday.

Shoaib and Sania are scheduled to tie the knot on April 15 at Hyderabad.

The Shoaib Malik - Ayesha Siddiqui case is growing bigger than the media frenzy surrounding it. It is now known that as many as 5 teams of the Central Crime Station (CCS), a special unit of Andhra Pradesh police forces, have been set up to investigate the claims Ayesha Siddiqui has made on Shoaib Malik.

One team will question Ayesha Siddiqui and record all her allegations, focusing on getting her version of the story. Another team will investigate medical grounds. It will gather and examine all medical proofs of pregnancy presented by Ayesha, followed by Shoaib's connection, if any, with them. A third team will look for proofs of stay in the hotels where the cricketer allegedly checked in with Ayesha.

A fourth team will follow Shoaib's version of the story and investigate any supporting evidence. A final team is said to head to the Middle East to get information of the couple’s alleged trysts in the UAE and in the nearby region.

Malik, who had earlier asked his lawyer not to file for anticipatory bail since he was cooperating with the Hyderabad police's investigations, said he might go for an anticipatory bail if he will be questioned again on Tuesday.

Shoaib Malik's brother-in-law is expected to land in Hyderabad today, and his immediate family will follow tomorrow.

Karachi, Apr 6: Even as the Indian media reports with near certainty that the Hyderabad police has enough information to nail the Shoaib Malik in connection with cheating and harassment cases filed against him, the Pakistani cricketer's colleague Rashid Latif has come to rescue of Malik.
Rashid has revealed that the woman that Malik saw and fell in love with on the internet was not the Ayesha Siddiqui being shown on the television now.

The cricketer said that he he had seen the photographs of the girl with whom Shoaib used to chat with online.
Speaking to a private news channel, Rashid said, "Shoaib Malik used to borrow my laptop for chatting with a girl and he did show me a few pictures of her. I can assure you that the girl I saw in pictures is not the one on TV these days."

"I can go to any forum including a court of law to reiterate my statement, and I appeal to all cricketers to stand by Shoaib Malik on this issue," he added.

The former Pakistan captain has also urged other team members to come out in support of Malik, who face criminal charges on the FIR filed by Ayesha.

Ayesha claims that Malik married her over the phone in 2002. According to her, Shoiab dumped her over her weight issues.

Defending himself, Shoaib says that he was one who was cheated as the photos of the girl sent to him were that of another lady.

This controversy came to the forefront as the Pakistani all-rounder and Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza are set to get married on Apr 15 in Hyderabad.

Awaz Apni: At a press conference in Hyderabad, Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik stood side by side to emphasize that allegations of a first wife will not affect their wedding plans.

April 15 remains the big day; Hyderabad remains the location; Ayesha Siddiqui remains, according to the couple, a woman who Malik has never met.

In earlier statements, most of them inconsistent in their version of events, Malik has said he did marry a woman on the phone who he had never met, but that this wedding cannot be considered legal, especially because his bride wasn’t the woman she pretended to be in photos sent to him during their courtship on the phone. (Read: Shoaib Malik: Love, allegations of sex, and dhoka)



Malik said he will stay in Hyderabad to cooperate with the police. It’s not a magnaminous offer, necessarily. Malik has been ordered not to leave the country while the police examines the case filed against him by Siddiqui’s father. Malik has been accused of criminal intimidation and of cheating a married woman.

These are not nice things for me to hear about my future husband, said Mirza. She added that Malik had told her about his phone-relationship with Siddiqui, also a Hyderabad resident, before the controversy erupted.

Both Malik and Mirza emphasized that they are from respectable families and would like to concentrate on their wedding preparations rather than press conferences. They then spent a half-hour taking questions about Siddiqui.

“We are both representing our countries in many ways,” said Mirza.

“Bring this person into the open,” added Malik, “where is she, why isn’t she before a camera,” he asked, referring to Siddiqui.

Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik say that they are from respectable families and it is painful to answer questions about alleged marriage.

Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza  has urged Ayesha Siddique to come out in the open and defend her claim of marriage to her would-be husband, former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik.

Addressing the media in Hyderabad on Monday evening along with Malik, Sania backed Shoaib and declared that their marriage would take place as scheduled on April 15.

"I am standing by my future husband to clear his name," she said.

"There is no reason for the marriage to be postponed. It will take place on April 15. If there is any change we will inform you. I am standing here by my future husband to clear his name.



"All our well-wishers are shocked by this. The entire drama has left a very bad taste in our mouths. Shoaib never misled me or any members of my family. There was never a marriage, so there is no question of divorce. We are well aware of what the truth is," she added.

Shoaib asked Ayesha to come out in the open and present her defence.

"Why is Ayesha not coming out in the open. Why is she making statements against me behind camera," he said, adding he will not apologise to Ayesha over her claims that he had cheated on her after she was married to him.

"The Siddiquis are doing all this for cheap publicity," he said.

Earlier in the day, the Hyderabad police seized Shoaib's passport and asked him not to leave the country.

Twenty-nine-year-old Ayesha was also questioned by the police, which is trying to verify authenticity of the nikahnama, cited by the Siddiqui family, and a photo of her with the 28-year-old Shoaib.

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 436 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 436 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.
Sania says knows the truth
NEW DELHI: Her prospective groom is facing allegations of marrying and dumping a woman, but Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza backed Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik on the matter, saying that she and her family have known the truth all along.
Although she did not mention Shoaib directly, Sania's latest twitter feed clearly supported her husband-to-be, who has been accused of cheating a Hyderabadi girl Ayesha Siddiqui after a telephonic nikah.
"Me and my family know what the truth is, we've known it all along and we have confidence in god's justice," Sania said.
The 24-year-old has been flayed by the Shiv Sena and some other right wing parties for deciding to marry the Pakistani all-rounder.
Getting ready for the "biggest day" of her life, Sania said she never thought she would have to deal with so many things apart from the regular pre-wedding jitters.
Ayesha wants official divorce

NEW DELHI: Turning the heat on Shoaib Malik before his April 15 marriage to Sania Mirza, Ayesha Siddiqui and her family today threatened to sue the Pakistani cricketer and made it clear that the unsavoury chapter will be closed only if she gets an "official divorce".
Ayesha, who claims to have married Shoaib in 2002, went the whole hog on Friday circulating copies of her 'nikahnama' to Pakistani and Indian channels where she poured her heart out on the break-up.
The marriage certificate was shown by several Pakistani television channels and apparently contained the signatures of Shoaib on the column for the groom and the name of Maha Siddiqui on the column for the bride.
"I have released this marriage certificate because Shoaib and his family have constantly been denying this marriage," Ayesha said.
28-year-old Shoaib is all set to tie the nuptial knot with 23-year-old tennis sensation Sania on April 15 in Hyderabad, which will be followed by a reception in Lahore.
"The only thing I want now is an official divorce from him, but it has to be in the open and not behind closed doors because he can always then deny it later as he has the marriage. I want to end my ordeal, I want to move on and put a stop to people asking me questions constantly about my marriage to him. Even an official ‘talaq, talaq talaq’ will do," she said.
Her father M A Siddiqui threatened to file a case against Shoaib if he went ahead with the marriage to Sania without divorcing Ayesha.
While the Siddiqui family claims Shoaib is married to their daughter and Sania would be his second wife if they go ahead with the marriage, the Pakistani cricketer and his family have constantly denied that he ever entered into any wedlock with Ayesha.
Siddiqui has threatened to sue Malik and also seek a fatwa against him from Ulemas.
Ayesha said that she had released the Nikahnama because it proved that the marriage did take place. "They are signatures of witnesses on the certificate and Shoaib sent me a copy for signature and a 'Haq Mahar' amount of Pakistani 500 rupees," she said.
She said that Shoaib had always been unhappy with her weight problems and for his sake, she had even gone and had a surgery in Delhi.
"But I am devastated the way he is constantly denying everything. I have nothing against Sania but the truth must come out," Ayesha said.
Malik-Siddiqui row enters legal twist
NEW DELHI: The controversy over Sania Mirza’s marriage to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik gets uglier, as the Siddiquis, who claim that the cricketer married their daughter Ayesha in 2002, on Saturday sent a legal notice to the Maliks.
This legal notice was dispatched today morning and will take 48 working hours to reach the Maliks in Pakistan. The family has sent a legal notice the Maliks on the grounds of defamation, harassment, character assassination and fraud.
Sources said that plans are being undertaken to bring both the families to a discussion table to resolve the issue.

Meanwhile, Shoaib Malik too turned to legal services, by hiring a Delhi-based lawyer named Ramesh Gupta, to file a defamation case against the Siddiquis.
Gupta, who has a chamber in Delhi's Patiala House court complex, is a former chairman of Bar Council of Delhi. He has appeared as defence lawyer in high-profile cases like BMW hit-and-run case and is main lawyer for Rahul Mahajan in the ongoing trial over the latter's alleged drug overdose.
While Gupta couldn't be contacted, his junior aide and advocate, Meena, confirmed that their office had received word from Malik's family in Pakistan.
"Malik's family has instructed us to pursue this case as they feel they are being defamed by the statements being made by Siddiqui and her family. My senior, Ramesh Gupta has been approached to file the defamation suit. We are closely monitoring statements emanating from Siddiqui family and will soon take action,'' she said, adding that legal grounds for slapping defamation charges are being prepared.
The newspaper has learnt that the suit is likely to be filed in Delhi itself and will seek damages for tarnishing Malik's reputation at a time when he is getting married to tennis star Sania Mirza.
Ayesha and her father have claimed before the media that Shoaib is Ayesha's legally-wedded husband. In the run up to Sania's wedding, M A Siddiqui has demanded that Shoaib formally divorce his daughter before tying the knot with the tennis star.

Ayesha Siddiqui, who claims to be Shoaib Malik's first wife has finally hit out at the cricketer.


The Siddiqui family is said to be in a state of shock over the reports of Shoaib-Sania impending marriage in April.
Ayesha’s father, Mohammed Ahmed Siddiqui has threatened to sue Shoaib if he does not divorce his daughter. "I want divorce for my daughter. According to Islamic law, my daughter cannot remarry if she doesn't have the divorce paper," he said in an interview to a news channel. He also said that Sania Mirza will be Shoaib's second wife.

Flashback:

Mohammed Ahmed Siddiqui claimed in February 2008 that Shoaib had married his daughter in June 2002 through a telephonic nikah after having an online affair.

However, Shoaib claims that he was only engaged to her and the marriage was called off because of problems between the families.

If sources are to be believed, Ayesha met Shoaib in a Dubai restaurant in 2001 along with her friend, Maha. While Ayesha is a little plump, Maha was pretty and Shoaib fell for her. On returning to Hyderabad, Ayesha, posing as Maha, started chatting with Shoaib.

Ayesha apparently fell in love with the cricketer and convinced her parents to contact his parents and arrange for a telephonic nikah.

In 2005, when the Pakistan cricket team was in Hyderabad, the Siddiquis hosted a reception for the cricket team. A website quotes a source as saying, "Shoaib became suspicious when he expressed his desire to meet Ayesha and her parents said she was out of town."

Ayesha was reportedly working as a school teacher in Dubai and apparently sent her actual photograph to Shoaib. This made the player snap all ties with her. He said the Siddiquis he had been duped.

Awaz Apni LAHORE: Former captain of Pakistan cricket team Shoaib Malik has started consultations with his lawyer for going to court against Ayesha Siddiqui and her father Mohammad Ahmed Siddiqui who claim that Ayesha is Shoaib’s wife..
Shoaib’s brother-in-law Imran Zafar Malik told Geo News that they have contacted with a lawyer Ramish Gupta in New Delhi to take a legal action against the Siddiqui family.
He said that Ramish Gupta has been the president of the Delhi High Court Bar Association.

He further said that they would now not remain silent on this issue.

He said that the photograph of the girl the Siddiqui Family showed to Shaoib Malik was not of Ayesha and this fraud was the reason of breaking of Shoaib’s engagement with Ayesha.

Shoaib Malik’s family remains unfazed with MA Siddiqui’s threats to sue the former Pakistani captain


Hyderabad-based MA Siddiqui has threatened to take Shoaib Malik to court to ensure that the former Pakistani captain divorce Ayesha before tying the knot with Sania Mirza on April 15. But the Malik household remains unfazed by this news. While Shoaib’s sister (Shazia Imran) is busy shopping and is in two minds deciding on which gold ornament she must get for her sister-in-law, Shoaib’s brother-in-law, Imran Zafar, is in Lahore to choose the wedding card.

Speaking on Siddiqui’s threat, Imran says, “We aren’t disturbed at all. The wedding preparations are going on fine. We went down to Hyderabad in the middle of March to ask for Sania’s hand. When they accepted the proposal, it’s evident that they must have done all the homework that was required before agreeing to get their daughter married off. We still maintain that Shoaib was duped and shown pictures of another girl posing as Ayesha. We have all those pictures of the girl who posed as Ayesha. Last time around, when the issue was raised, we had decided not to release those pictures to the media because it involved the privacy of a lady. But we can’t be soft all the time.”

But what about the clips of Shoaib being interviewed by Arun Lal post an Indo-Pak match where he accepted congratulations for his wedding after having won the match in his wife’s city? “Shoaib was madly in love with a girl whose pictures were sent to him. But that girl wasn’t Ayesha. Shoaib was trapped. Ayesha would tutor him online and have him parrot the line that they were married at some select interviews. The Arun Lal interview was a result of Ayesha Siddiqui tutoring Shoaib,” Imran adds.

While the Ayesha episode might be past for the Maliks, the family is equally cool about Sania’s ex-factor, Sohrab Mirza. “It’s their personal matter. But we don’t want to dwell on the past,” Imran says.

The family, including Shoaib’s mother Farooq Sultana, isn’t bothered about Sania’s hemline controversies either. “My mother-in-law understands that a short skirt is a sportsgirl’s uniform. We are not conservative enough to get perturbed with all that. Right now, our only concern is the wedding,” Imran avers.

While on the wedding, members of the Malik family are expecting to get their visa in a day or two. “We will be in Hyderbad on April 15 for the wedding. We are still deciding on whether to host the Pakistani reception in Lahore or Sialkot. As for the guestlist, there’s Bhajji, Viru and Ashish Nehra. My son (Shoaib’s nephew) is a huge fan of Team Kolkata. We will be inviting SRK. The rest on the guestlist will be decided once Shoaib returns to Pakistan. There’ll be no reception in Dubai,” Imran informs.

Finally, what about rumours claiming that Imran is tweeting on Shoaib’s behalf? “Shoaib isn’t on Twitter. We are so busy with the wedding preparations now that we haven’t yet had the time to figure out who is tweeting on Shoaib’s behalf,” Imran signs off.

The right-wing Shiv Sena has lashed out at tennis star Sania Mirza for her decision to marry Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik.


In the party mouthpiece 'Saamna', the Shiv Sena said, Sania should marry an Indian if she wishes to play for India, adding that she is longer an Indian. Had she truly been an Indian at heart, she would not have chosen a Pakistani.

Further objecting to Sania's marriage, the Shiv Sena asserted she should marry an Indian in order to retain Indian nationality.

"After marriage, Sania will become a Pakistani citizen. How can she have Pakistani citizenship and play for India? Has this country become a tennis ball to Sania that she plays with it, however she pleases?" adds the Sena.

National Communist Party (NCP) leader Jitendra Avhad and Samajwadi Party leader Abu Asim Azmi have also expressed their displeasure at Sania's marriage asserting that she would become a Pakistani after her marriage.

It has been reported that the wedding ceremony of both sports stars will take place in April, while the Walima reception will be hosted by Shoaib on April 16 or 17 in Lahore.

Shoaib was earlier engaged and allegedly married to another Hyderabad girl, Ayesha Siddiqui. (ANI)

Awaz Apni Karachi: Apr 2 (PTI) The Shoaib Malik-Ayesha Siddiqui controversy took another turn today when the Siddiqui family released, what they claimed, the marriage certificate of the Pakistani cricketer's 2002 'wedding' with the Hyderabad girl.


The marriage certificate (Nikahnama) was shown by several Pakistani television channels and apparently contained the signatures of Shoaib Malik on the column for the groom and the name of Maha Siddiqui on the column for the bride.

"I have released this marriage certificate because Shoaib and his family have constantly been denying this marriage," Ayesha told the 'Duniya' channel from Hyderabad.

While the Siddiqui family claims Shoaib is married to their daughter Ayesha and Indian tennis star Sania Mirza would be his second wife if they go ahead with the marriage, the Pakistani cricketer and his family have constantly denied that he ever entered into any wedlock with Ayesha.

THE LOVE triangle between Sania, Shoaib and Ayesha is taking all new twist and turns. Ayesha claiming to be Shoaib's wife speaks in public about her relationship with the former Pakistani Captain.

Ayesha Siddiqui broke her silence and said that she wants a legal divorce as uttering of the words Talaak Talaak Talaak' will not work for her. She also added that she doesn't have anything against Sania Mirza.

Ayesha said that “ I am fat and not good looking, that is why Shoaib has changed his mind. But Shoiab's brother-in-law is claiming that Ayesha is lying as she cheated Shoaib and his family.

Ayesha said: “I and shoaib got married in Sialkot. All were very happy including both of us. Shoaib never pointed out my fatness. He loved me a lot and always gifted me all the trophies he won”.
“But situations changed in 2006 and so did Shoiab’s behavior towards me”.
Ayesha also told that she was a very good friend of Sania Mirza and the most surprising thing which Ayesha said in her interview was that Shoaib didn’t like Sania’s profession.
Is it time for Sania to break her silence? As her future husband is being targetted with thousands of questions.
Ayesha claimed that she has proof in form of documents of marriage and photographs but Shoiab Malik's brother in law defended him claiming that all the documents she has are fake.
According to the documents, the marriage was solemnized at June 3, 2002 by Hafiz Mohammad Khalid s/o Munir, while Mukhtar Ali Khan s/o Abdul Rehman and Syed Ibrar Hussain s/o Syed Mubbashar Ali were named as witnesses in the certificate.

In the certificate a Rs500 was set as Haq Mehar; Ayesha said that her nick name is Maha and that is why her name Maha Siddiqui was written in the certificate.
Ayesha said that she received the marriage certificate through courier besides the Rs500 amount as Haq Mehar.
She said that all she wanted from Shoaib is divorce, and if he did not, she would move the court in this regard

Turning the heat on Shoaib Malik before his April 15 marriage to Sania Mirza, Ayesha Siddiqui and her family today threatened to sue the Pakistani cricketer and made it clear that the unsavoury chapter will be closed only if she gets an “official divorce.”
Ayesha, who claims to have married Shoaib in 2002, circulated copies of her ‘nikahnama’ to Pakistan and Indian channels where she spoke about the alleged relationship.
“I have released this marriage certificate because Shoaib and his family have constantly been denying this marriage,” Ayesha said.
28-year-old Shoaib is all set to tie the nuptial knot with 23-year-old tennis sensation Sania on April 15 in Hyderabad, which will be followed by a reception in Lahore.
“The only thing I want now is an official divorce from him, but it has to be in the open and not behind closed doors, because he can always then deny it later as he has the marriage. I want to end my ordeal, I want to move on and put a stop to people asking me questions constantly about my marriage to him. Even an official ‘talaq, talaq, talaq’ will do,” she said.
Her father M.A. Siddiqui threatened to file a case against Shoaib if he went ahead with the marriage to Sania without divorcing Ayesha.
While the Siddiqui family claims Shoaib is married to their daughter and Sania would be his second wife if they go ahead with the marriage, the Pakistani cricketer and his family have constantly denied that he ever entered into any wedlock with Ayesha.
Siddiqui has threatened to sue Malik and also seek a fatwa against him from Ulemas.
Ayesha said that she had released the Nikahnama because it proved that the marriage did take place.
“They are signatures of witnesses on the certificate and Shoaib sent me a copy for signature and a ‘Haq Mahar’ amount of Pakistani 500 rupees,” she said.
“I have nothing against Sania but the truth must come out,” Ayesha said.
