Hyderabad, India, April 3, 2010 / IndiaPRLine / — Shoaib Malik reaches Sania Mirza house in Hyderabad, Ayesha Siddiqui controversy. Despite the controversy surrounding his marriage with tennis star Sania Mirza, Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik is reported to be at Sania’s place in Hyderabad.

It has been reported that the two sports stars will tie the nuptial knot in Dubai on April 15, as Malik’s family fears protests in India on their arrival. His visit to Hyderabad assumes significance in the context of a late night threat by Ayesha’s parents that they would file an FIR against him if he went ahead with the marriage without divorcing their daughter.

There was no indication about the sudden visit of Shoaib but it comes amid reports in the Pakistani media that the venue of the marriage could be shifted to Dubai to avoid any problems from Ayesha’s family. There was no confirmation of the reports as yet.

‘Geo TV’ quoted sources in Shoaib’s family as saying that the marriage has been shifted to Dubai because his family is not keen on coming to India.

The channel reported Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray’s threat has scared them and the Ayesha issue is also a factor.

Mr Thackeray had lambasted Sania for choosing a Pakistani as her life partner, saying she would not remain an Indian post her marriage.

Adding to the couple’s woes is Ayesha’s legal notice to Shoaib for allegedly marrying her over phone and dumping her without taking a formal divorce.

Shoaib, who was reportedly playing in a Twenty20 league in Bangladesh, has added to the whole drama surrounding the much-anticipated wedding by landing in Hyderabad much ahead of schedule. The exact reasons for his visit to Sania’s residence are not known.

Sania has backed her prospective groom saying that she and her family have known the truth all along.

Although she did not mention Shoaib directly, Sania’s latest twitter feed clearly supported her husband-to-be, who has been accused of cheating Ayesha.

“Me and my family know what the truth is, we’ve known it all along and we have confidence in god’s justice,” Sania said.

The Pakistani media has reported that Malik’s family wants the wedding to take place in Dubai and would not come to India.

“Around 25 people are expected to attend the marriage in Dubai,” adds the Pakistani media.

After the marriage, the couple will be based in Dubai, where Shoaib is a resident.

The wedding ceremony of both the sports stars will take place in April, while the Walima reception will be hosted by Shoaib on April 16 or 17 in Lahore.
