A podcast on the new channel Samaa TV claimed that Shoaib and Sana have been having an affair and intimate relations for the past three years despite being married.
The podcast added that Sana had been divorced merely for three months from her former husband Umair Jaswal when she tied the knot with Malik.
Whenever former Pakistan cricketer was invited for any shows on the channel, he would appear only on the condition that the actress Sana Javed should also be called, the podcast added.

They were having an affair for the last three years and were intimately involved, a producer of the podcast said. Umair didn't know about this, but Sania Mirza and her family and even Malik's family came to know about it last year. Efforts were made to resolve the situation but Malik didn't listen to anyone, the producer added.
Back in the year 2010, cricketer Shoaib Malik and Tennis player Sania Mirza tied the knot in Hyderabad, India. They married in a traditional Muslim ceremony, followed by a Walim ceremony in Sialkot in Pakistan while Sana and Jaswal tied the knot in 2020 in a private ceremony.
Later in the year 2018, they were blessed with their first child Izhaan.
Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza never opened up about their private lives in public. That Malik and Sania are now separated came to light only after the former cricketer and Sana shared a photograph from their marriage.
