Mumbai, April 10: If only he had kept a photocopy of his passport, Sania and Shoaib could have been married by now. That is only the latest in the long list of inane things Shoaib has done, ever since he landed on our shores
Passport surrendered. No photocopy
If only Shoaib could have done some quick thinking, he could have married Sania yesterday. So what if his passport was impounded by the police, all he needed was an attested photocopy of his passport. But the man did not think it important to carry this basic document. But then, it’s Shoaib, silly!
Came alone
Coming down to India and landing at Sania’s door all by himself without any escort family, friend, legal advisor was certainly no wise decision on the former Pak skipper’s part. Given the sensitive nature of the case, he should have known better.
Shout denials of marriage
Wasn’t it a bit immature on his part to shout from rooftops (read: in front of hundreds of camera-wielding journalists) to vehemently deny his marriage? Then, he agreed to a marriage, but to some other woman whom he had only seen pictures of. Even a teenager would have handled the situation better.
Married another woman over phone?
Did the man really say he was shown the picture of one woman but the nikaah over phone was with another woman masquerading as the other girl?
Sure, love is blind, but this is deaf and dumb too!
And then he agrees to a divorce
Just two days after Shoaib and Sania appeared for a joint press conference to ‘clear his name’, he meekly agrees to a divorce. If only he had agreed to it earlier, he could have avoided this entire circus. He may even have gotten away without having to pay through his nose.
And he says thanks
As a vote of thanks, Shoaib expresses his gratitude to the people and to the media in Pakistan and India for their support.
Oh yeah, people of both nations have been watching the show. As for the media, it has had a great time covering the circus.
Mr Malik, it ain’t over yet!
