Love knows no boundaries, no borders and no religion. The sacred thread of matrimony, which unites two people, is a beautiful bond binding them. While the borders of Pakistan and India are a heated topic of debates and emotions, people across the border have often found love on the other side. Here are four Pakistani cricketers who found love and married an Indian woman:
Shoaib Malik
The first one who comes to my mind and not because he’s a famous cricketer, but also because he is married to India’s biggest tennis star, Sania Mirza. They are truly a prime example of a power couple and both lead a very successful life in their respective fields. The couple has been married for eleven years and have a son together. While they shuffle continents for their game but when they are off the field, they spend time together at their Dubai home.
Hasan Ali
Pakistan’s fast bowler was actually left clean bowled by an Indian beauty born and raised in Faridabad. Samiya was formerly a flight engineer in Dubai and that’s where the two met before falling in love and deciding to spend their life together. The wonderful couple are proud parents to a beautiful daughter now.
Mohsin Khan
Yesteryear’s wonderful test player found love in Bollywood’s beauty Reena Roy back in the 80s when Reena, who was at the peak of her career, surprised everyone after she announced her wedding with Mohsin Khan . They got married in Karachi and moved to Mumbai. The marriage didn’t last for a very long time, but the couple has a daughter named Sanam Khan.
Zaheer Abbas
Former Pakistani cricketer Zaheer Abbas, who was also famously known as the ‘Bradman of Asia’ found love in Rita Luthra in 1988, who later changed her name to Samina Abbas. He was previously married to someone else back home in Pakistan.
