Tennis star Sania Mirza and Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik tied the knot today. Originally, the marriage was to take place on April 15 although stories on the re-scheduling of the marriage kept coming in the media.

Clad in a red saree, which her mother Nasima wore in her “Nikah” 25 years ago, Sania thus became the second wife of the Pakistani cricketer, who divorced his first wife Ayesha Siddiqui last week.

Shoaib wore a black sherwani, designed by Shantanu and Nikhil, for the nikah ceremony held at hotel Taj Krishna. The two families surprised everyone this morning by announcing through the spokesperson that marriage has been preponed.

The ‘Mehendi’ ceremony is scheduled for April 13, Sangeet on April 14 and reception will be held on April 15 as scheduled.
