Sania Mirza’s father breaks silence on rumours of tennis star marrying cricketer Mohammed Shami

The rumours stemmed from a photoshopped picture shared on Facebook on June 12 this year.

After Indian tennis star Sania Mirza and Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik divorced, rumours spread on the Internet that the tennis star may marry cricketer Mohammed Shami, who is also separated from his wife Hasin Jahan. However, in a recent interview, Mirza’s father, Imran Mirza, has settled the rumours once and for all.

In an interview with NDTV, Imran said that her daughter hasn’t even met the cricketer and that the rumours are “rubbish”. He said, “This is all rubbish. She has not even met him.”

The rumours stemmed from a photoshopped picture shared on Facebook on June 12 this year. The photo, originally from Sania and Shoaib’s wedding in April 2010, depicts the tennis legend in red wedding attire with Shami’s face digitally placed over Shoaib’s face.
