At this sensitive period of her life, we would like to request all fans and well- wishers to refrain from indulging in any speculation and to respect her need for privacy," the statement read.

If a Pakistani report is anything to go by, it was Shoaib's extramarital affairs that came in between the couple and led them to part ways. What's more? Shoaib's family has not taken his divorce from Sania lightly and is not happy about it. The report further states that it was the reason why his family didn't attend his wedding with Sana Javed.
