DUBAI (Dunya News) – Pakistani fast bowler Hasan Ali on Tuesday married Indian national Samiya Arzoo in a private ceremony attended by close family and friends at Dubai’s Atlantis The Palm hotel.

The news of Ali marrying an Indian national has been making the headlines since last month.

Shamia resides in Mewat, a district in the state of Haryana, and met Ali during a random dinner in Dubai. Impressed with her honesty, Ali courted Shamia and sent a marriage proposal to her, which was duly accepted.

The mehndi ceremony was held on Monday night. The event was attended by Hasan Ali’s close friend and leg-spinner Shadab Khan. Hasan Ali displayed his trademark ‘generator style’ celebration and Shadab Khan performed bhangra (Punjabi folk dance) which added flavor to the function.

Earlier today, the couple went around Dubai for a pre-wedding photoshoot which was shared on social media and adored by the fans.

It is worth mentioning here that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had granted a six-day leave to Hasan Ali from the ongoing pre-season camp for his nikkah.

Hasan has become the fourth Pakistani cricketer to get married with an Indian girl, after Zaheer Abbas, Mohsin Khan and Shoaib Malik.

Malik had a high-profile wedding with Indian tennis star Sania Mirza in April 2010 and former captain Abbas was the first Pakistani player to marry an Indian woman.
