Her prospective groom is facing allegations of marrying and dumping a woman, but Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza backed her Pakistani cricketer Fiance Shoaib Malik on the matter, saying that she and her family have known the truth all along about the Shoaib-Ayesha Saga.
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.
Meamwhile it is reported that Sania's father Imran Mirza also says family knows all about the Shoaib-Ayesha saga, but that won't stop the grand wedding
Controversies surround the Sania-Shoaib wedding, but that has not flustered the Mirza family. Post the announcement of the wedding, Hyderabad girl Ayesha Siddiqui claimed that she was married to Shoaib in 2002.
According to sources, Sania's father said, "We know the truth about Shoaib and Ayesha. (But) there's no change. The wedding will be as schedule."
A day after the wedding was announced, Ayesha came forward to state that she is Shoaib's wife and that Sania would be his second wife. Ayesha also showed the marriage certificate to the media yesterday to prove her claims. The certificate apparently contained the signatures of Shoaib on the column for the groom and the name of Maha Siddiqui on the column for the bride.
When asked about it, she said Maha Siddiqui was her name and Ayesha is the name her grandmother had given her while Maha is the name on her passport.
However, refuting these claims, Imran Zafar Malik, Shoaib's brother-in-law said, "This is simply a publicity stunt on their part. The family is trying to get mileage from the entire situation." Malik also added that it was a ploy on the girl's part to create a rift between India and Pakistan. Imran agreed that Shoaib had got engaged to Ayesha, but the Siddiqui family had shown a photograph of another girl at the time of engagement.
Ayesha's father is hurt about the entire situation. He believes that all Shoaib should do is provide an official divorce to his daughter.
"I am a cardiac patient and I was shocked to hear that Shoaib denied the entire wedding. I never imagined Shoaib would put my family in such a difficult position. We are going to sue him." It has been suggested that he is also seeking a fatwa against Shoaib from the ulemas.
Sania Upset
Neither Sania nor Shoaib were ready to comment about the entire situation. Both have maintained complete silence on the issue. However, sources say that Sania is upset about the whole controversy surrounding her playing for India.
"There's nothing to clarify. It does not matter if someone in Pakistan said that I should play for Pakistan. I have already said I will play for India and Shoaib for Pakistan," she told a source.
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.
