Talking exclusively to Geo News, Ayesha Siddiqui clarified that she had never chatted with Shoaib over the Internet nor did their first meeting took place on the Internet. “We first met in Dubai in the year 2000 … I never even recognized in that meeting that he was a Pakistani cricketer,” she claimed. To a question, Ayesha said: “At first we were only good friends and it was Shoaib himself who disclosed to the media that we had met in Dubai.” She said her second meeting with Shoaib took place in Jeddah and that Shoaib came to India by receiving a visa from Kenya. Replying to another question about their post-marital relations, she said: “Shoaib and I stayed together in a hotel in Hyderabad Deccan.” Later in 2007 Shoaib had stopped contacting me and changed all his phone numbers, she alleged.

Pakistan cricket star Shoaib Malik and Indian tennis star Sania Mirza are being chased by Indian media and every bit of their marriage is reported. Their wedding arrangements are at peak and they are reportedly going to New Dehli for shopping, India media reported. 'Wedding cards are also being distributed among the who's who'. Earlier today, Shoaib Malik reached at the house of his wife-to-be Sania Mirza. In a video captured by the local media, Shoaib was seen standing at the terrace of Sania's bungalow situated in Jubilee Hills of Hyderabad, where he made a surprise and unexpected visit to meet his fiancé. They will be tying the knot on 15th April in the same five star hotel where Sania Mirza got engaged with her childhood friend Sohrab Mirza.

Her prospective groom is facing allegations of marrying and dumping a woman, but Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza backed Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik on the matter, saying that she and her family have known the truth all along. Although she did not mention Shoaib directly, Sania's latest twitter feed clearly supported her husband-to-be, who has been ac cused 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. 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.

Pakistani cricket star and former captain Shoaib Malik reached today at the house of his wife-to-be Sania Mirza, India’s top tennis star, Geo News reported Saturday. In a latest video captured by the local media, Shoaib was seen standing at the terrace of Sania’s bungalow situated in Jubilee Hills of Hyderabad, where he made a surprise and unexpected visit to meet his fiance. Shoaib’s surprise visit came amidst controversy brewing between the Maliks and the Siddiquis, who claim their daughter Ayesha got married to Shoaib Malik in 2002. Shoaib Malik was caught on camera speaking over the phone on the balcony of Sania Mirza’s residence. Shoaib, Sania Mirza and her mother are seen together at the tennis ace’s residence in Hyderabad. Sources said that Malik, who arrived in the city last night, preponed his visit 11 days ahead of the wedding scheduled on April 15, to workout the details, even as Pakistani television reports indicated that the venue would be shifted to a neutral venue most l

Turning the hea t on Shoaib Malik before his April 15 marriage to Sania Mirza, Ayesha Siddiqui and her family today threatened to sue the Pakistani cricketer and made it clear that the unsavoury chapter will be closed only if she gets an "official divorce". Ayesha, who claims to have married Shoaib in 2002, went the whole hog on Friday circulating copies of her 'nikahnama' to Pakistani and Indian channels where she poured her heart out on the break-up. The marriage certificate was shown by several Pakistani television channels and apparently contained the signatures of Shoaib on the column for the groom and the name of Maha Siddiqui on the column for the bride. "I have released this marriage certificate because Shoaib and his family have constantly been denying this marriage," Ayesha said. 28-year-old Shoaib is all set to tie the nuptial knot with 23-year-old tennis sensation Sania on April 15 in Hyderabad, which will be followed by a reception in Lahore. &q

  The Sania-Shoaib wedding saga took an ugly turn on Friday as Ayesha’s father came out hard against the Pakistani cricketer, saying he had been cheated. At a press conference, MA Siddiqui said the ‘nikahnama’ that had been produced before the media was genuine, having the stamp of the Qazi who conducted the wedding, the signature of the witnesses and of Shoaib himself. Ayesha, who claims to have married Shoaib in 2002, went the whole hog today circulating copies of her nikahnama to Pakistani and Indian channels. Siddiqi said he was against his daughter getting married in Pakistan due to strained relations between two neighborly countries.  The Malik family will regret this incident, he added, repeatedly saying that he had been cheated. Siddiqui threatened to sue Malik and also seek a fatwa against him from Ulemas. “My daughter and Shoaib met in Dubai and entered into a correspondence. They ultimately married. But Shoaib kept torturing her over her weight,” he said. Siddiqui said he di

The controversy over Sania Mirza’s marriage to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik gets uglier, as the Siddiquis, who claim that the cricketer married their daughter Ayesha in 2002, on Saturday sent a legal notice to the Maliks. This legal notice was dispatched today morning and will take 48 working hours to reach the Maliks in Pakistan. The family has sent a legal notice the Maliks on the grounds of defamation, harassment, character assassination and fraud. Sources said that plans are being undertaken to bring both the families to a discussion table to resolve the issue. Meanwhile, Shoaib Malik too turned to legal services, by hiring a Delhi-based lawyer named Ramesh Gupta, to file a defamation case against the Siddiquis. Gupta, who has a chamber in Delhi's Patiala House court complex, is a former chairman of Bar Council of Delhi. He has appeared as defence lawyer in high-profile cases like BMW hit-and-run case and is main lawyer for Rahul Mahajan in the ongoing trial over the latter
