This alteration once again left fans questioning whether he had divorced Mirza or not.
Malik and Mirza got married in Hyderabad back in 2010 in a traditional Muslim ceremony, and later had a Walima ceremony in Sialkot, Pakistan.
Sania Mirza, just on Wednesday, posted a cryptic story on Instagram, sparking rumors of her potential divorce from Shoaib Malik.
In her story was a picture containing the text, “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.”
