"Bro could hardly wait 40 days..."
Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and Lollywood actress Sana Javed are once again in the spotlight as divorce rumours circulate across social media and entertainment portals.
The couple tied the knot in a very private Nikah ceremony in January 2024, but their relationship has faced constant criticism and speculation since the beginning.
Much of the backlash stemmed from allegations that both were unfaithful to their former partners, Sania Mirza and Umair Jaswal, before committing to each other.
Now, a short video clip featuring Shoaib and Sana has gone viral on Instagram, sparking a heated online debate about the status of their marriage.
In the footage, the two sit side by side at what appears to be a professional event, yet they appear distant and avoid interaction throughout.
This unusual behaviour quickly fuelled assumptions of growing marital tension, with some netizens even suggesting that divorce could be on the horizon.
Others, however, argued that the viral moment might have been taken out of context, possibly during a lengthy shoot, and not reflective of deeper issues.
Regardless, the speculation has intensified gossip surrounding their relationship, with many dragging Sana’s previous marriage into the ongoing conversation.
As of now, neither Shoaib Malik nor Sana Javed has issued a public statement addressing the rumours or clarifying their current status as a couple.
The controversy follows months of scrutiny surrounding their whirlwind relationship, which shocked fans when it was officially announced in early 2024.
On January 20, 2024, Shoaib revealed the marriage through Instagram photos captioned with: “And we created you in pairs,” confirming his third wedding.
The news stunned followers, particularly since Shoaib and tennis star Sania Mirza had remained silent on the subject of their separation.
Social media users reacted with mixed emotions, many expressing sympathy for Sania while questioning Shoaib’s choice to marry again so soon.
One comment read: “Going from Sania Mirza to Sana Javed is a downgrade for sure. But going from Umair Jaswal to Shoaib Malik is so much worse.”
Another netizen wrote: “Imagine leaving SANIA MIRZA for Sana Javed. IMAGINE!!!” while others called the situation “genuinely sad for Sania Mirza.”
The backlash extended to Sana as well, particularly after she quickly changed her Instagram name to Sana Shoaib Malik following the marriage announcement.
One user mocked: “Brown girls 12 hours after marriage,” while another claimed: “Bro could hardly wait 40 days after her separation.”
Such remarks intensified the narrative of an alleged extramarital affair between the pair, especially given the short time between Sana’s split and their wedding.
Online critics harshly labelled the situation as “Cheating level ultra pro max,” with others warning: “Just wait for Karma, both of you.”
The couple had first appeared together publicly in May 2023 during ARY’s Jeeto Pakistan Ramzan transmission, where many believed their relationship began.
Social media jokes followed, with one user remarking:
“Jeeto Pakistan was a Ramzan dating show and no one noticed.”
Despite the criticism, some fans congratulated the newlyweds and defended their right to move on without facing relentless judgment from outsiders.
While rumours of divorce continue to dominate headlines, the truth about Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed’s marriage remains unconfirmed by either party.
For now, the viral video has only added more fuel to the fire, keeping the couple at the centre of ongoing public speculation.
