Preferring to play down the controversy stirred by Shoaib Akhtar's recently released autobiography 'Controversially Yours', in which he has made some tall claims, Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik said there was no point in giving much importance to the pacer's book.

"When his own family does not take him seriously, I don't understand why is everyone taking his comments in his book seriously?," Malik told a TV channel in an interview, where he appeared with his wife, Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza. Shoaib and Sania appeared on today's Geo TV morning show and spoke on issues concerning their lives and how marriage had changed things.
