Shoaib Malik is undoubtedly a successful Pakistani cricketer and an internationally recognized sports figure who earned fame through his numerous match-winning performances for Pakistan. As an all-rounder, he played a vital role in many key tournaments, including the 2009 T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy. However, while his professional career remained strong, his personal life faced significant turmoil following his announcement of a second marriage to actress Sana Javed and divorce from his first wife, Indian tennis star Sania Mirza.
After his divorce from Sania Mirza, Shoaib Malik often meets his son in Dubai. Today, he shared a picture with his son, Izhaan Mirza Malik, while having lunch together. He wrote, “Lunch with my best friend.” Here is the post Shoaib Malik shared:
Shoaib Malik’s meet up with his son Izhaan Mirza Malik is getting severe public backlash. A fan wrote, “When parents get divorced, the child becomes like a ‘cat of both houses.’ I believe people shouldn’t have kids for the first five years of marriage — they should first take time to understand each other.” Another said, “Taking the child for lunch or dinner occasionally doesn’t build friendship; it only increases distance.” A netizen stated, “Take your best friend’s responsibility too. It’s not just the mother’s duty — it’s yours! You can’t fulfill your duties toward your kids by just having lunch with them just for one day!” One fan commented, “He is a good boy, but you didn’t carry on as a father.” Another gave thoughtful advice, saying, “There shouldn’t have been a divorce. Sania Mirza was better. Both were stars, sensible, and educated — but they couldn’t handle matters. With mutual understanding, the issue could have been resolved.” Read the comments:
