Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik's marriage plans seem to be heading towards legal trouble.
Just when the families of the sports personalities in India and Pakistan were getting down to make arrangements for the April 15 marriage, the family of Shoaib's first wife Ayesha Siddiqui in Hyderabad has threatened to launch legal action against Shoaib for cheating.
Ayesha's father Ahmad Siddiqui, a Saudi Arabia-based businessman, told the media in Hyderabad that he could not understand how Sania Mirza's family agreed to this proposal when Shoaib had cheated another girl from Hyderabad.
"Does he deserve a girl like Sania?" he asked, adding that even if this marriage takes place, Sania will be Shoaib's second wife as he had already married his daughter Ayesha.
Meanwhile, Shoaib Malik has denied marrying Ayesha.
However, talking to press, Ayesha said, "I think he himself did confess that he got married to me. I have nikahnama as a proof. I don't want anything from him nor am I doing this for any publicity.
He feels trapped and to get out of this and to give a bad name to me. They are saying so many things for the past two years. They said I made him say that, he is not a kid that anybody can make him say anything."
"I am shocked to hear those things. I went through really really bad time. I know him since year 2000. It has been 10 years now. Me and my family have spent many traumatic years."
When asked why she was not living with him after marriage, she said, "Our careers kept us away for the first few years of our marriage. By the time everything started working for us, it had become a little too late.
He had become a star. He said you don't look that great. I am embarrased by you. He screamed and yelled on phone. I don't want to recall those things, they bring bad memories. If Shoaib wants to divorce me, he should do it publically," she said.
Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray also took a potshot at the tennis star in his latest editorial.
The veteran politician flayed tennis star Sania Mirza for her decision to marry Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, saying "had Sania's heart been Indian, it wouldn't have beaten for a Pakistani."
"Henceforth, Sania will not remain an Indian. Had her heart been Indian, it wouldn't have beaten for a Pakistani. If she wished to play for India, she should have chosen an Indian life partner," 84-year-old Thackeray said in an editorial in party mouthpiece 'Saamana'.
"More than victories on tennis court, Sania became famous for her tight clothes, fashion and love affairs. More than her play, people's attention was on her mannerisms," he claimed.
Bal Thackeray also alleged that "for Shoaib, India is an enemy, not only in sports arena but also in the battlefield.
"We have heard that Shoaib has many affairs in India and has promised many girls he will marry them," he said.
