In another dramatic turn on Monday, the much-awaited wedding of tennis star Sania Mirza and Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik was performed at a five-star hotel around 1:00 p.m. as per Muslim religious customs. The nikah was performed in the presence of a select gathering comprising only the family members of the groom and the bride.

There was high drama at Sania’s residence as the celebrity left her posh residence at Jubilee Hills accompanied by her parents, Imran Mirza and Naseema Mirza, and sister Anam Mirza.

A battery of cameramen, from print and electronic media, chased the bride to the venue, which was initially kept a secret for security reasons.

A close relative of the Mirzas described the ceremony, which lasted for ten minutes as a ‘very simple affair’. Family members of Sania and close relatives of Malik, including his sisters and brothers-in-law attended the function.

Keen to end speculation, the families decided to go ahead with the nikah ahead of the earlier announced wedding date of April 15. Sources said the families steered clear of all possible legal hurdles before going ahead with the ceremony by seeking necessary counsel.

Shoaib’s passport, however, is still with the police. His passport was collected by the police after they registered cases against him, following a complaint by Ayesha Siddiqui, a Hydreabadi woman, who claimed that the cricketer had married her earlier. The controversy over Ayesha and Shoaib’s marriage ended when the Pakistani cricketer ‘divorced’ her after community elders intervened.

"The nikah (marriage) has been completed, it has just got over. Please pray for the couple," Rucha Naik, a spokeswoman for Mirza, told reporters waiting outside the hotel.

Sania's father Imran Mirza said that Sania looked beautiful and shoaib also looked dashing in his sherwani.

Shoaib's Brother-in-Law Imran said that everybody was very happy and only close relatives and friends arrived. He said Only 20 members from pakistan were there for the Wedding event and the rest were all from Hydrabad.

The family sources informed that the Mehndi ceremony will be held tomorrow (april 13th), sangeet on April 14th and the Reception will be held on 15th or 18th of April 2010.
