Video: Crowd chants 'Sania Mirza' as Pakistani actress Sana Javed attends Shoaib Malik's cricket match

Pakistani actress Sana Javed was subjected to crowds chanting Sania Mirza’s name when she was attending the Pakistan Super League match. When the actress heard these cries, she was at a Pakistan Super League game between the Karachi Kings and the Multan Sultans. On X, a video of her response has now gone viral.

A boisterous portion of the crowd started recording Sana while yelling her name during the contest. She was present to cheer on Shoaib as he played for the Karachi Kings. One could see some supporters yelling Sania's name even as she sat there to back him. In the footage, she can be seen staring blankly at the crowd before turning her head and ignoring them. The chanting continue even when she is shown in one video entering the VIP area and in another sitting there. When they refused to stop shouting, she even turned around and started talking to someone nearby.

Despite the criticism from Indian and Pakistani fans, some of Sana's fans came to her support on X. “Good to see Sana Javed making public appearance to support hubby @realshoaibmalik despite all the social media criticism, (sic)” lauding her for paying no heed, while another wrote, “It's their prerogative, so there's no need to taunt sana javed, every individual deserves respect, treating others poorly is unjustifiable. (sic)” One fan also pointed out that they have a right to choose their partners, writing, “It is Soo Much Shameful It's their personal Life everyone has the right what he choose and what is good for him. (sic)”

Sana and Shoaib tied the knot in January, but her family later revealed that they had broken up a few months prior and that she had requested a "khula," or unilateral divorce. The actor and cricket player shocked fans by sharing photos from their nuptials. Shoaib was previously wed to Indian tennis player Sania. In April 2010, they were joined in marriage in Hyderabad in a lavish ceremony before moving to Dubai. The kid of the couple is called Izhaan Mirza Malik.
