Sania-Shoaib -Ayesha Marriage Controversy-Where Your Loyalities Lie??



I am just watching a report on Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and his alleged marriage to some Ayesha Siddiqui from Hyderabad. The fact that this came up just few mintes after the announcement came about the upcoming marriage of Indian Tennis Player Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik does put some doubts over the authenticity of the matter.

But the genuine disappointment and hurt present on the faces of Ayesha's parents have got me thinking about the nature of this claim. What if it is true and not a hoax marriage claim which has a habit of cropping up just before a celebrity marriage [ remember Shivani Kapoor drama before Abhishek-Aish marriage??] Plus there is the recorded evidence where Shoaib himself accepted the fact that he is married to Ayesha from Hyderabad. This is like plain insane! Why the hell are people going round in circles over this issue. It is as plain as chalk and cheese that Shoaib indeed has a wife before Sania, then why not come out and plainly admit it? Is he feeling embarrassed about being married to a 'fat' girl? Or is he plain worried about his media image which is so far has been of Mr. Clean.

Seeing all this one thing also came to mind. Is the Indian viewer so eager to believe this fact being goaded on and on by the media on our television sets because of the simple fact that it involves a Pakistani in it and we get a valid reason to condemn our neighboring country once again? Or is it a true story because its something which many women can identify with [ although not all in the context of a hidden first marriage but you know the normal break up and leaving part cause of someone's appearances]

Whatever the case maybe, my heart tells me to believe in the story of Ayesha whole heartedly. What irks me then is the complete indifference showed by Shoaib Malik in this case. Dude! if you are married then admit it! You will still get to marry Sania as per your religion [although the allowance of second marriage is another matter altogether]

The fact remains that being an Indian your loyalties do lie with your country but don't forget that you are a human being first and support what is right in which case I guess is the Indian side! :D
