"Alhamdullilah. And We created you in pairs," Shoaib wrote on his social media. Notably, Sania had recently shared a cryptic social media post, which added to the rumours of the couple's divorce. "Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard. Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard. Choose your hard. Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Choose your hard. Communication is hard. Not communicating is hard. Choose your hard. Life will never be easy. It will always be hard. But we can choose our hard. Pick wisely," Sania wrote on social media.
Sana has also changed her Instagram name to 'Sana Shoaib Malik'. There were rumours that the two have been dating each other. Shoaib had also wished Sana on her birthday last year. "Happy Birthday Buddy," Shoaib wrote in a picture he shared with the Pakistan actress.
