It is important to mention here that the cold war between Shoaib Malik and Ayesha’s family had begin in February 2008 for the first time when father of a Hyderabadi girl whose love story involving Pakistani cricket captain Shoaib Malik went sour contested his claim that the couple did not enter into a ‘nikah’ and pressed the player to give a “formal divorce.”

Mr Siddiqui was reacting to Malik’s statement in Karachi on January 21, 2008 when the cricketer claimed that no ‘nikah’ took place between him and Ayesha Siddiqui.

“The ‘nikah’ of my daughter (Ayesha) with Shoaib Malik took place on June 3, 2002. We also have the proof,” said Siddiqui amid reports that the couple got ‘married’ through a telephone ‘nikah’ on that date.

In return Shoaib Malik had admitted his relation with Ayesha, however, denied any ‘nikah’ took place between them.

“Yes I had a long relationship with her ( Ayesha Siddiqui) and we planned to get married. But no nikah ever took place and in the end our families could not reach an understanding on various things,” Malik had said two years back in February in 2008.

At a time when two star players of their relevant field are likely to get marry , Shoaib has found himself in hot water once again as Siddiqui family has demanded from Shoaib Malik to divorce Ayesha before getting marry to Sania Mirza.

According to media reports Ayesha Siddiqui has claimed that she can produce the wedding certificate and other relevant documents to prove her relationship with Shoaib Malik.

In an interview with an Indian TV, Siddiqui said she was hurt by the revelations made by Shoaib and his family about her.

The allegations being leveled by the Shoaib’s family are totally baseless, the somber-looking lady said.

“Shoaib himself accepted of being married with me, she said, adding he had sent Rs500 as a Haq Mehr to me.” “I want to get a formal divorce from Shoaib Malik.”

To a question, Siddiqui said she was not in contact with Shoaib Malik anymore, adding they she had spoken to the cricketer for the last time in 2007.

She also made a stunning disclosure that wife of former Pakistan skipper Muhammad Yousuf know about their relationship.

“If Shoaib does not want to live with me. I am also not interested,” she added.
