SPORT-LDALL SHOAIB 2LST

Imran Zafar Malik, Shoaib's brother-in-law, however,
dismissed the marriage certificate as a fake and said when no
Nikah ceremony ever took place the document had no value at
all.
"I don't want to say anything more except that Ayesha is
a very talented girl and she is being misguided by some
people," he said.
Imran also said that the Siddiqui family had left them no
choice but to purse legal action against them in India.
An emotional Ayesha said, "I may not be a winner but I am
not loser either. If he doesn't want me, well I don't want him
either. My father went through a quadruple by-pass surgery. I
am not begging for sympathy, I just know what my family has
undergone for this."
Ayesha rubbished talk of her doing this for publicity and
money.
She also brushed aside reports that Shoaib had married a
woman by the name of Maha Siddiqui and not Ayesha.
"My name is Maha Siddiqui, Ayesha is the name given to me
by my grandmother. Maha is my name in my passport. So
ironically, when he says the wrong name was given during the
nikah, well both names belong to the same person -- me," she
said.
A Pakistani television channel today beamed excerpts of a
2004 interview in which Shoaib admitted he was married to
Ayesha.
Asked by the interviewer if girls had started approaching
him as he was a young and successful cricketer, Malik replied,
"It seems you want me to be beaten by my wife. I am already
married. My nikaah has been done. She stays in Jeddah though
she hails from Hyderabad in India.
"Her name is Ayesha and I am very happy. If there are any
calls from women, I don't attend to them and I avoid them," he
had said.
Ayesha said she met Shoaib in Dubai in 2000 and the two
started meeting each other regularly.
"When he started off, in 2002 his career wasn't really
doing too well. Even I had just started of my career,
teaching. It took time for us to talk to our respective
families. So by the time things started working for us it was
too late, he had become a star and he was no longer interested
in me.
"The only thing he saw was that 'You don't look that
great, you're not that pretty, you're embarrassing me," she
said. PTI COR
