Sania Mirza took 'khula' from Shoaib Malik, says her father

They were no more sharing their pictures together for some time

(Web Desk) – Former tennis star Sania Mirza’s father, Imran Mirza, has said that his daughter took ‘khula’ from her husband Shoaib Malik, The Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.

A family member of former India tennis player and first wife of Shoaib Malik, Sania Mirza, also said that the tennis ace had unilaterally divorced her husband.

Hours after former Pakistan cricket team captain Shoaib Malik announced his second marriage to actress Sana Javed, a family member of former India tennis player and first wife of Malik, Sania Mirza, said that the tennis ace had unilaterally divorced her husband.

A family source told PTI that "it was a 'khula'", which refers to the right of a Muslim woman to divorce her husband unilaterally.

Malik took to social media on Saturday to share a photo with Javed and captioned it: "And We created you in pairs."

The two have worked in multiple shows and TV commercials and have been close associates."

The news comes when rumours about differences between Shoaib and Sania were at their peak. The celebrity couple have rarely been seen together in the last couple of years.

Multiple reports claimed that they had split but there was no official confirmation. Malik, in fact, dodged Sania-related questions a few times during TV shows last year.

Just a few days back Malik also unfollowed the Indian star on Instagram.

Shoaib and Sania had got married in Hyderabad in the Indian player's hometown Hyderabad in April 2010 and they used to live in Dubai.

The couple were blessed with a son, Ihzaan Mirza Malik, in October 2018. He stays with Sania.
