Shoaib-Sania marriage: In a run-up to the triangular tales of Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik’s marriage and divorce involving a Hyderabadi woman, Ayesha Siddiqui, and the Indian tennis star, Sania Mirza, most papers have expressed disapproval of the “overkill” by the media.
Rashtriya Sahara, in an editorial on April 4, writes : “The media has shown such great interest in this (Shoaib-Sania) marriage that the entire tension on India-Pakistan borders has vanished and everybody has forgotten that there is any other problem also between the two countries.
But it is a matter of great sorrow that no stone has been left unturned in hurting the sentiments of a popular and renowned player like Sania”.
Most papers have also come down heavily on Shiv Sena leader Balasaheb Thackeray and ABVP for their concerted attacks on Sania for choosing a Pakistani as her life partner. They tend to avoid the complexities born out of the claims made by Ayesha Siddiqui. In fact there are virtually no editorial comments on the drama.
