Pakistani actress Sana Javed is once again facing intense scrutiny and trolling on social media, primarily due to her marriage to cricketer Shoaib Malik. This trolling stems from Malik’s controversial past, particularly his previous marriage to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza.
The relationship between Javed and Malik has not only garnered public interest but also ignited backlash among fans of Mirza. Malik was married to Mirza, who is well-known in India and worldwide, and their subsequent divorce continues to be a talking point. Following Malik's divorce from Mirza, he has moved on and has reportedly remarried Javed, which has spurred criticism from Indian fans who seem to hold a grudge against Malik.
On March 24, 2025, Javed shared a video on her social media account where she appeared in a stunning red ensemble. While many praised her beauty, one particular Indian fan didn't hold back in voicing their disdain. The comment, laden with accusation, read: "You broke our Sania Mirza’s heart; being Pakistani, that’s typical of you!" This remark encapsulates the sentiments of a segment of fans who associate Javed with Malik's previous controversies.
The backstory of Malik's divorce from Mirza is murky, but recent revelations have clarified some aspects. According to Shoaib Malik’s sister, Sania Mirza decided to divorce him because she was "tired of Shoaib’s affairs." These claims, made in a widely discussed interview, shed light on the reasons behind their split, indicating infidelity played a significant role. The Mirzas have largely remained silent on these accusations, leaving the public to speculate.
Sania's sister, Anam Mirza, had previously mentioned on social media that the divorce occurred several months before Malik's marriage to Sana Javed, asserting "Sania had divorced Shoaib Malik a few months ago. We wish her all the best for her new journey." This statement indicates that there had been a clear end to the relationship before Malik entered into his new marriage.
Malik’s first marriage to Ayesha Siddiqui ended in 2010, after which he married Mirza. During his marriage to Mirza, there were whispers of his alleged infidelity, including rumors linking him to actress Sayali Bhagat, which he consistently denied. However, despite the denials, the fallout from his past decisions continues to haunt him and now affects Javed, drawing unwanted attention to her personal life.
As the public spectacle surrounding their relationship ensues, many are reflecting on the emotional toll such public scrutiny can impose on personal lives. For Sana Javed, her recent appearance and the subsequent backlash illustrate the challenges of being in a high-profile relationship marred by previous controversies.
Malik and Javed’s marriage sparked criticism not only from fans of Mirza but also from those who continue to follow the narratives surrounding these celebrities. In the world of Indian and Pakistani celebrity culture, the past often casts a long shadow, complicating the present relationships and engagements.
As new information circulates and more opinions flood social media, it remains to be seen how Sana Javed will navigate this wave of backlash and whether the general public will ever allow her or Malik to move past their relationships’ histories. The patterns of public perception seem entrenched, with many unwilling to separate the individuals from their pasts.
Ultimately, the lives of public figures like Sana Javed and Shoaib Malik remind society of the complex intertwining of personal legacy and public opinion. What the future holds for Javed moving forward in her career as she balances the challenge of public scrutiny with her emotional journey remains to be seen.
