Malik married Indian tennis player Sania Mirza in 2010, and while there had been rumors of marital difficulties, there had not been any news of a divorce.
The sources claim that Sania was upset by the 41-year-old’s frequent relationships with other women, which is why the two decided to get a divorce.
After a protracted period of trying to overlook Malik’s behavior, the former tennis player made the difficult decision to file for divorce.
According to additional sources, Malik’s family was devastated to learn of his separation from Sania because they had never wanted the two to be divorced. Additionally, they made every effort to mend their relationship.
The long-time friend of the all-rounder was Sana, who was going through a difficult time in her marriage to well-known musician Umair Jaswal.
According to the legislation, the right-arm off-spinner will keep seeing his kid Izhan Mirza Malik in Dubai.
