Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza is all set to enter into wedlock with Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik in April, two months after she broke her engagement with childhood friend Sohrab Mirza.

: As news of their coming together spread like wildfire on Monday night, a tweet from “Shoaib Malik” seemed to confirm the news of their marriage:

Sania and Shoaib reportedly fell in love some six-and-half months ago and it could be the reason for the breaking up of Sania’s engagement with Sohrab Mirza.

A statement by Sania’s father Imran Mirza also stated that 23-year-old Sania and the 28-year-old all-rounder will be based in Dubai, where Malik is a resident.

The entire Malik family will leave for India on April 7 and formal Nikaah ceremony will take place on April 10 or 11.

It was Shoaib’s mother who had met Sania’s parents in India and accepted her as future daughter-in-law, according to Malik’s brother-in-law.

The ‘Walima’ or reception is expected to be held in Lahore on April 16 or 17.

According to Sania’s family sources there will be no engagement before the wedding.
