After Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik announced his marriage to actress Sana Javed last week, many social media users from Pakistan have voiced support for his ex-wife, Indian tennis star Sania Mirza.

On January 20th, Malik confirmed he had wed Javed in a private nikah ceremony by posting wedding photos online with the caption "And we created you in pairs." The sudden news has shocked fans worldwide.

Across social media, Malik and Javed's marriage is sparking major reactions, especially from Sania Mirza's supporters. Numerous Pakistani users on social media have shared messages backing Sania amidst her former husband's swift remarriage.

Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza married in April 2010. The sports power couple welcomed a son, Izhaan, in October 2018. However, divorce rumors had swirled for years before reports emerged last November that Sania had filed for khula divorce.

The recent wedding announcement seemed to confirm the end of Shoaib and Sania's marriage. While the cricketer has promptly moved on, loyal fans online are voicing sympathy for Sania as she separates from her partner of over a decade. The outpouring of support across borders indicates her widespread popularity in both India and Pakistan.
