Sania Shoaib Valima Reception: Some Chilli Moments of the Events!
A reception for newly-weds Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik in this eastern Pakistani city was cut short after a large number of guests began pressing the couple to pose for pictures with them.
Shoaib and Sania left the venue of the 'walima' (reception hosted by the groom's family) at the Pearl Continental Hotel and the ceremony ended before the scheduled time last night after some guests began acting in an unruly manner, sources said.
The event was better organised than another reception held for the couple in Shoaib's hometown of Sialkot on April 25. That event was marred by mismanagement.
Sania, who was wearing a flowing gown, and Shoaib, clad in a dark suit, waved to TV cameras and fans as they entered the venue of the walima with their relatives.
Only two former Test cricketers Wasim Bari and Aamir Sohail attended the ceremony.
Bari was the head of an inquiry committee that announced stiff punishment for seven cricketers, including Shoaib, for on and off-field problems.
An invitation was reportedly sent to Pakistan Cricket Board chief Ijaz Butt but he preferred not to attend, sources said.
Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani's son Abdul Qadir, federal Sports Minister Aijaz Jakhrani and Population Welfare Minister Firdous Aashiq Awan were among the high-profile guest who attended the event.
Speaking on the occasion, Awan said such "marriage diplomacy" will improve people-to-people contacts between Pakistan and India.
She hoped this relationship will melt the ice between the two countries.
Jakhrani congratulated the couple on starting a new life and prayed for their success.
He said Shoaib will be given a fair chance in an inquiry to prove his innocence.
Malik and the other top Pakistani cricketers punished by the PCB have filed appeals with an appellant tribunal that will begin its hearing on Friday.
The cricketer's brother-in-law Imran Zafar was conspicuous by his absence at the walima.
Zafar was blamed for the mismanagement witnessed during the reception in Sialkot.
In accordance with the rules of the Punjab government banning the serving of more than one dish at wedding functions, guests were served a chicken 'korma' with rice and naans and a dessert.
Sania's family is scheduled to return to India today.

Shoaib and Sania Walima: New Problems for new couple!
Honeymoon bliss may evade Mr and Mrs Malik for just a little longer.
Shoaib Malik has been accused in a Hyderabad court of insulting Islam by offering contradicting versions of whether he was indeed married to Ayesha Siddiqui before he wed tennis star Sania Mirza.
If the petition is accepted as valid, a non-bailable police case could follow (for insulting a religion) and that means the celebrity couple may find it hard to depart to Pakistan for a planned wedding reception.
Mirza made a surprise announcement in March that she was going to marry Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. Nobody was more surprised, apparently, than another young woman from Hyderabad, Ayesha Siddiqui. Just as Malik arrived at Mirza's house for the pre-wedding festivities, Siddiqui went national with the revelation that Malik had married her on the phone a few years ago.
She acknowledged it had not been the happiest of couplings. Allegedly, Malik was embarrassed by her size, and suggested that she avoid introducing herself to anyone as his wife.
Malik himself seemed unsure of his marital status. After vehemently denying his phone nikaah, he then went through with a quickie divorce organized by community elders in Hyderabad.
In an interview on NDTV after their wedding, the Maliks said the controversy had brought them closer together. "It feels like we won the World Cup before the marriage," is how Shoaib described it.

Shoaib Sania walima: Expected Over 1200 guests to attend!
LAHORE: Over 1200 guests are expected to attend the star sports couple Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza's 'walima' reception, which would be held at a five-star hotel in Lahore on April 25.
According to sources in Shoaib's family, seats for over 1200 guests have been reserved at the hotel for the function.
According to hotel sources, guests would be served with only one dish during the function.
The newly wed couple is expected to arrive in Lahore later this week, following which they would visit Sialkot, Shoaib's hometown, where a reception is to be held on April 25.
The hotel management has asked the local police authorities to arrange for foolproof security during the high profile function, The News reports.
The Malik's are also expecting 15 to 20 Indian guests during both functions. On Monday, the Andhra Pradesh High Court dismissed all cases against Shoaib, and ordered the police to return his passport.

Shoaib Sania Marriage not a Religious Issue!
Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, who got back his seized passport, has again landed up into new trouble. This time it is religion that has created trouble for the newlywed couple Sania and Shoaib.A city court has asked police to enquire into a complaint that alleges the couple to have hurt religious sentiments of Muslims.
A Muslim organization has blamed that the couple, Shoaib's fist wife Ayesha Siddiqui and 11 others involved in Shoaib’s divorce case hurt the sentiments of Muslims.
The IIIrd additional chief metropolitan magistrate referred the complaint to Banjara Hills police station for investigation and directed the police to submit the report by May 26.
Former Indian skipper Mohammed Azharuddin, Sania's father Imran Mirza and two 'Qazis' have been also named in the complaint lodged by Moullim Mohsin Bin Hussain Al-Kasary, president of Mazlumeen-e-Ummatay Mohammediya organization. Claiming that Shoaib did not officially divorce Ayesha, he said all the names mentioned in the complaints had hurt the religious sentiments.
Al-Kasary alleged,"Shoaib had initially claimed that he did not marry Ayesha but later sent divorce papers to her under a compromise reached with the help of other accused. There was no official divorce, but the accused declared that divorce proceedings are over, thus insulting religious feelings of Muslims,”
If a case is registered against the couple, their travel to Pakistan could further delay leading to postponement of ‘'walima' reception scheduled later this week.

Sania Shoaib's Love 'Win' but Controversies followed them till their wedding!
Controversies followed them till the final day of their wedding, but Indian tennis star Sania Mirza and Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik feel their relationship has only got stronger due to the whole episode.
'It was a test for our relationship and it got stronger with the controversy. We learnt a lot. From the very beginning we were very honest to each other and that's the reason we didn't have a single argument,' Sania told NDTV in an interview.
Sania, who was with Shoaib, said: 'The fact is that we are married today and happy. Our family was very supportive, they supported us full heartedly. Nothing would have been possible without them.'
Announcement of their marriage plan made headlines, and controversy followed when a Hyderabad resident Ayesha Siddiqui claimed that she was Shoaib's first wife and he had not divorced her.
Ayesha filed a police complaint against Shoaib April 4, accusing him of cheating, harassment and criminal intimidation. Police grilled Shoaib and seized his passport.
Facing imminent arrest, Shoaib went on the backfoot and divorced Ayesha April 7 under an agreement brokered by community elders and family members of Sania. Subsequently, Ayesha withdrew her complaint against Shoaib.
The couple, who finally got married April 12, said they will get back to work soon.
'We both are very practical being sportspersons... now as we are finished with one thing and are married... we will move on to other segment,' added Sania.
According to Shoaib, the controversy has taught him a lot and it will help them in life.

Sania-Shoaib Reception: Bollywood Celebrities are expected to attend Reception!
Pakistan Population Welfare Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan, cricketer Sohail Tanvir and singer Waris Baig have arrived here to attend the wedding reception of Shoaib Malik and Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza Thursday evening.
Awan, who landed in Hyderabad Wednesday night, hoped that the marriage of the two celebrities would help strengthen the ties between India and Pakistan.
“I am here to attend the wedding reception and I am confident that this marriage will help in the peace process,” she told reporters at the airport.
The minister, who would represent the Pakistani government at the reception Thursday, said she would present a gold crown to Sania as a special gift from the people of Sialkot, Shoaib’s home town. The minister also comes from the same town.
Awan, who is on a five-day visit to India at the invitation of union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, will also hand over gifts from Pakistan President Asif Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to the couple.
The minister reiterated that the newly-wed couple would be brand ambassadors of Pakistan population welfare ministry.
“We are aware of the legal process in India and the issue of passport will be resolved very soon,” she said when asked about Shoaib’s passport, which is still with a city court.
The Hyderabad Police have said it could take a week for the former Pakistan skipper to get back his passport as he would have to complete legal formalities with regard to the closure of the case filed against him by his first wife Ayesha Siddiqui.
Ayesha withdrew her complaint against Shoaib after the latter divorced her. But the cricketer’s passport, seized by the police after grilling him April 5, is still with the court.

Shoaib Sania Wedding Reception: Bollywood not shining at Reception
It is a simple invite with a beige background and red and gold lettering. But in Hyderabad this not-so-freely-distributed wedding invite is the talk of the town.
The Sania-Shoaib wedding reception on Thursday at the posh Taj Krishna apart from being national news is also the largest society event for the city.
The city has a small society circuit, especially the Mirza family circle, which is very distinct from the pub hopping crowd that gracing the party pages. It is the foreign-educated, articulate and well-travelled business community of the city that meets for lunch everyday at the Nizam Club to discuss politics and money. And for the rest of the time they are ensconced behind the imposing gates of their plush bungalows scattered across Jubilee and Banjara Hills.
“Everyone is calling the immediate family and friends of the Mirzas to try and get an invitation,” said Mohammed Ahmed, an invitee. “It is a high profile event for the city and ‘have you got an invite’ has become the topic of conversation. The whole Bollywood factor and media glare enhances the glamour,” said the businessman.
The reception has a guest list of 1200 people, of which 800 are from Hyderabad. But for a society wedding the list is rather modest. “Usually, weddings in known families have about 3000 guests at the reception. So, I am guessing a lot of people have not got invites,” Ahmed added.
While the event may be high profile, the Hyderabad elite will not give it undue importance. “It is the wedding season and I end up attending a wedding every night. Sania’s father is my childhood friend so I will attend the reception to bless the couple,” said Sajid Baig, another invitee.
In fact, the hype has made some shy of the event. “I am not too sure if I will go. We have to carry the card for security reasons. It will be very crowded because of the media and it is just a lot of effort,” said Rashid Ali, another invitee, who is related to the Mirzas.
Surprisingly, the mediators, who rescued Shoaib Malik from what would have become an ugly legal battle, have not been invited. The intervention of these community representatives ensured a quick divorce between Ayesha Siddiqui and Malik. “The elders of the community are not happy with the way the wedding was conducted and may not attend the reception,” said Adib Khan, one of the mediators. Khan said that elders were upset that the nikaahnama did not state it was Shoaib’s second marriage. Also, the mehr amount of Rs 61 lakh, which is meant as security for the bride, was extravagant and would now set an expensive precedent in the society.
Early on Wednesday morning, a large bouquet of flowers arrived in an autorickshaw at the Mirza household. The flowers were from Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan congratulating Sania and expressing their regret at not being able to attend the reception.
Even the three Khan brothers, Salman, Sohail and Arbaaz, are tied up. So is SRK.
Tennis star Leander and his wife Rhea Pillai are skipping the reception. Mahesh Bhupathi, who is playing the Monte Carlo Masters in Monaco, may attend the reception if he does not have a match on Thursday.
This leaves only a few B-town buddies such as Tabu, Neha Dhupia and Rakshanda Khan, who will be there to wish the couple.

Shoaib-Sania wedding: Nikah Ceremony and Family Affairs!
HYDERABAD: The Mirza family threw their weight behind Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik, who was embroiled in controversial divorce proceedings with another Hyderabadi, but by the end of Monday evening, it was clear that they were both stronger and wiser for the experience.
While Sania has turned to designer siblings Shantanu and Nikhil for her clothes for the April 15 reception in Hyderabad, and the one to follow in Pakistan, she had always wanted to wear her mother’s wedding sari for her own nikah. She made that decision the moment she first laid eyes on Nasima’s sari as a teenager. Nasima had only worn the sari once, on her own wedding day, and then had locked it away until she pulled it out for her first born.
Sania’s nikah, which had a gathering of less than 100 people, including the groom’s immediate family —- mother Sultana Malik, three sisters and their families and younger brother — was held at the Taj Krishna grand ballroom. There were separate stages for the bride and groom, with a partition running down the giant hallway. The stages were done in traditional Hyderabadi fashion. Chunky pillars lined the regal, gold-edged backdrop, which had floral decorations of roses, carnations and lilies running down the panels. The cuisine was essentially Hyderabadi too, from the biryani down to the jalebis.
As the hour-long ceremony came to a close, and photographers went into overdrive, the guests settled down to a round of refreshments. The tension of the last few days, was replaced by relief and joy, which slowly gave away to tears. As Nasima and Imran gave away their daughter to her husband’s family, they could do little to hide their tears. The Mirzas are many things, but essentially they are a family that has stood together through sunshine and storm.

Sania-Shoaib Wedding: Venue Today at Hotel Taj Krishna in Hyderabad at 1 pm
Wonderful relevance as today Sania Mirza, Indian Tennis Player & Shoaib Malik, Pakistani cricketer will get married in Hyderabad on Monday at 1 pm at Hotel Taj Krishna. Both couple’s families revealed this announcement on today’s morning, four days prior to the pre-defined date. You can also watch the marriage photos of Sania-Shoaib.
Sania’s media planner Richa disclosed “Sania and Shoaib marriage will take place today. We can’t reveal time and venue of the marriage because of security reasons.” She also declared that the mehendi function will occur on Tuesday in which Sania will wear 25 years back sari of her mother. The wedding function is likely to happen at 1pm in the afternoon of Monday.
Earlier Sania-Shoaib was scheduled to get married on 15th April. No reason is yet found why the marriage date again changed for Monday. Sources tell that it may be due to many complaints by a segment of ulemas (Muslim clerics) over why Sania-Shoaib is staying now in the same house.
A team of spiritual scholars, the Sunni Ulema Board, on Sunday took out an order against the duo alleging both of them had brought disregard to Islam and Muslim society by their acts as they were living together without wedding. A spiritual scholar Maulana Haseebul Hasan Siddiqui told “The kind of actions the two are indulging in like living together and addressing media together are haram in Islam.”
