Tennis star Sania Mirza and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik to marry

Your free so long as you never say anything about HINDUstan, never even mention Kashmir and freedom in the same sentence, and know when to bow your head to the state.
Indians want everyone to be a slave to their nation state.. They have literally made India into a nationalist religion.

good....she has already survived the indian fandamentalism....soon, the ball will be in your court....be ready to support her tennis skirt....

i also want to see this spectacle at your side....

Most Pakistanis would accept her skirt, but she didnt marry him for the sake of wearing a skirt.

as far as i am concerned, she can play in swim suit or in her birthday suit she can and her husband can take decision, i have no say what so ever, but yes if she ever asked me, i'll give her my opinion) , little do i care, but you must notice one thing both Shoaib and Sania are almost at the end of their careers, Shoaib is slapped with bans and fines from PCB not to mention he is non-performer in the ground, Sania on the other hand, has been continuously eliminated from 1st or 2nd round of all the games she has played recently... thanks to media for using her in the ads...

hehe. evidence????

yes...good reply...and what about the present spectacle going arround these three families...shoaib', sania' and aishas'......i guess that some money game is going on....all three performers are making good amount from interviews these days....

i agree it shall boil down to money...

don't know, but i don't see respectable/honorable families taking solving their disputes in this manner, it is said that siddiques know mirza family, so they could have called on a family meeting and in the presence of elders/respectable persons they could have solved the issue, but solving this issue seems to be the last things in the mind of all parties.. have you heard that bookies were issuing rate for this marriage it was something 1 - .60

Re: Tennis star Sania Mirza and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik to marry

Shoaib Malik nuptials gets more and more bizarre, bookies have found a lucrative new avenue to make money.

*A leading bookie told TOI that the ‘bhav’ or odds on Sania getting married to Shoaib on April 15 was 25 paise - in other words, for every rupee placed on the wedding taking place, a bettor would get Rs 1.25 paise. The ‘bhav’ on the wedding being called off is Rs 3.50. The general sentiment in bookiedom, thus, seems to be in favour of the Sania-Shoaib nikaah happening. *

‘‘We are watching the twists and turns closely. The odds may change as the wedding date nears,’’ the bookie said, adding tongue in cheek, ‘‘There is no match-fixing.’’

Despite the police keeping a close vigil, the betting industry is thriving in Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Indore, Delhi and other places. Many bettors have gone online.

The fact that Shoaib is a cricketer from Pakistan has whetted bettors’ interest. There are reports that bets are being laid in Pakistan as well, especially since the betting syndicates here have close links with their counterparts across the border.

Re: Tennis star Sania Mirza and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik to marry

Good grief. These are our desi version of Becks and Posh with some bollywood drama involved.

There is some serious outburst by Ayesha’s mom in the press conference.

yes....and i am sure that all three twisting families Shoib' sania' and aisha' are the beneficiarries.....of bookies profit....

this is all money game...

may be Malik will move to India. I just don't see why Sania will move to Pakistan. Anyway it ought to be their private matter

Re: Tennis star Sania Mirza and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik to marry

I think you are right. shoab may moved to India and play for Suttar Gymkhana in inter-school competition. He will earn more than as a paki T-20 captain.

Re: Tennis star Sania Mirza and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik to marry

Here we go again. It has been proven that Malik was indeed married to Ayesha. So after all, india media did have a field day. Instead of making this a pak-ind issue, fk this dishonest cricketrs.** All they do is bring bad name to pakistan. The arrogance and stupidity of this man!**
The Dawn Blog Blog Archive No more character in cricket
The love triangle came full circle and perished under its own weight. Two countries and its citizens were brought to the brink by three idiots who ultimately declared that ‘all is well’ and walked away to their dark secrets. And Islamic edicts were mauled by armchair analysts ranging from those who may never have read the Quran and Hadith, to the scholarly who gave sweeping statements that varied in their intensity.
At the end of the day, the Shoaib-Sania-Ayesha/Maha debacle was yet another incident involving a Pakistani cricketer getting himself into a jam and embarrassing the country. Not that the cricket team should be blamed entirely for maligning our name, or what’s left of it – that crown is worn by the king and his courtiers.
Still, it must be said that Shoaib Malik could have handled this situation differently. Once it turned out that Ayesha was the one on the other end of the line during his telephonic affair, all Malik had to do was state that he had been deceived, express sorrow at the misunderstanding, and accede to Ayesha’s request for a divorce. A signed paper is just a signed paper if there are to be no consequences whatsoever. As such, it was always a win-win situation for Malik. No stories need have come out of the situation, no exposes about nights spent at hotels, no unnecessary innuendos about a decade-old relationship.
But it seems our cricketers have become so arrogant that Malik never thought of ending the issue with the other woman quietly, when all she wanted was a separation.
This lack of discretion, which indicates a disregard for family, fans, and the national image, saddens me the most. Mind you, I’m not surprised, just plain saddened. Our cricketers, once titled ambassadors of goodwill, have become cowboys roaming the Wild West, shooting at first sight and not even bothering to bury the dead.
Much as I avoid saying it for fear of being labeled discriminatory or elitist, the behaviour of our cricketers nowadays has to do with education and upbringing. (Let me be on the record here that I grew up in a lower-middle-class family, though I was lucky enough to have educated, principled, and ethical parents and good teachers.)
I think it’s time to admit that transgressions and indiscretions have become too common in Pakistani cricket, both on and off the field, by both cricketers and the management. Yes, there have been indiscretions in the past as well, some of a serious nature, but these were restricted to the odd clown. Right up to the 1970s, the majority of the cricket coterie comprised Majid, Sadiq, Zaheer, Asif, Mushtaq Mohammad, Wasim Raja, Saleem Altaf, Asif Masood, Intikhab Alam, Wasim Bari, Pervez Sajjad, Iqbal Qasim, Haroon Rasheed, etc.
A few of them may or may not have had their questionable moments, but they were all essentially family men; in other words, decent chaps, presentable on and off the field. They played cricket while attending university and continuing to listen to their elders. The team in their time had character when it wore the green and gold.
There were, of course, odd fellows such as Sarfraz, Illyas, and Aftab Gul, but they were a minority, negligible like the family truant among a large family.
In the 1980s and 1990s, things began to change. More entrants to the game arrived having played hokey from school. Early money meant less time to become mature and worldly wise. With money came more cricket; more cricket meant less time at home; more frequent tours in seductive societies meant easy access to drugs, girls, and quick cash.
I believe our cricketers’ character changed in the year 1976, when the team stood as one and defied the management over pay. The year Packer hatched plans for breakaway cricket that made our cricketers aware of their true worth and marketing potential. The year Imran Khan and Javed Miandad became role models without meaning to, making teenagers leave books for bats, fascinated with the world of glamour and opportunity that the duo represented. Miandad broke the mould by mysteriously eloping while the world searched for him for more than two days, and Khan was photographed at Ascot with the rich, famous, and glamorous. Our cricketers had stepped out in the open.
Ironically, Miandad and Khan led Pakistan cricket to great heights, individually and collectively. But in the process, the fabric of self-regulation was torn to bits. The two most brilliant, talented, and charismatic players led private lives that influenced a generation that did not have the strong mental discipline and family foundation that they had. What was left was taken care of by the modalities of offshore cricket, where the pitch was a sidelight as big boys played off it. Disco lights and starry nights prevailed.
By end of the 1990s, we saw most of our cricketers, still brilliant as ever in the art of bowling and batting, living lives of moral degradation, steeped in the world of sex, lies, and drugs. The family man with high morals had become the minority in the team.
There were many incidents: at Granada, four of our more famous names were allegedly busted for drugs; in Johannesburg, the busted up bodies of two cricketers who claimed to have been mugged outside their hotel, but were seen being thrown out of a nightclub. On both occasions, a Test match was delayed by a day. In Zimbabwe, there were revelations of match fixing; across the world our cricketers were caught ball tampering more often than others.
Today, we are paying for the cowardly, selfish management of those times that failed to fire the offenders when they were still a minority. Today, relatively uneducated, arrogant, young people, who believe they know what is best for them, make their own marriages over the internet with a pretty face. No need for back ground or character checks. After all, how can they go wrong when they earn in seven figures, are chased for autographs, move in a circle that hails them for their independence and antics, and consider conservative influences as archaic.
Perhaps they are not to blame, since the system around them has become morally corrupt. The only hope for the future is that the PCB runs a finishing school where every aspiring national cricketer is given a six-month course in values and ethics. But before that, we have to have a similar finishing school for the PCB management and their elders.

its an another twist…

Re: Tennis star Sania Mirza and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik to marry

Whats the big deal about this marriage. If Sania wants to marry the Haram de boti, then be it.

Re: Tennis star Sania Mirza and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik to marry

I agree with you entirely med911 but unfortunately people do not have time to reflect on these issues

Re: Tennis star Sania Mirza and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik to marry

i can't believe people are getting angry over this and making it a political issue again. this is a personal matter between a guy and a girl, two human beings, yes the guy just happens to be a pakistani and the girl an indian.

i'm so happy with this news, glad they got married, it's so completely boring reading comments about pakistanis screaming at indians, indians screaming at pakistanis(kashmir, water shortage, hindu-muslim hatred, old people talking about partition which happened decades ago and god knows what other hate ridden news)...........some peace of mind and love between two people from two countries which most of the time are in their own little bubble of tu-tu-main-main

i wish them all the happiness in the world, and if you have to get political about even this news then hopefully this will make the relations between the two countries better, allah bless them both(the countries and the indo-pak couple)
