Sannia Ashfaq Defends Shoaib Malik’s Fatherhood Amid Imad Wasim Comparison

The world of celebrity relationships rarely stays out of the spotlight, especially when personal matters unfold publicly on social media. Social media personality Sannia Ashfaq, the former wife of Pakistani cricketer Imad Wasim, recently stepped up to clear the air after an online comparison linked her ex-husband to former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik.

The issue erupted after a user (@aly.liyakat.7040) posted a viral comment claiming, “Imad waseem and shoaib Malik same same no difference 😂😂😂😂”. Rejecting the comparison entirely, Sannia was quick to set the record straight from her handle @sannia_ashfaq2. She publicly praised Shoaib Malik’s commitment to his child, drawing a firm line between marital breakdown and parental responsibility.

Setting the Record Straight

Replying directly to the viral comment, Sannia wrote: “Stop comparing him to @realshoaibmalik bhai. Whatever happened in his marriage Shoaib bhai still shows up for his child. That’s called having family values 👏”. Her pointed response highlights that regardless of how a marriage ends, Shoaib consistently makes an effort to be present for his son, Izhaan. For Sannia, that ongoing presence represents genuine family values.

This defense comes during Sannia’s own high-profile separation from Imad Wasim. Over recent months, Sannia has openly addressed the breakdown of her marriage, raising serious allegations concerning abandonment, personal betrayal, and a lack of involvement with their children.

A Difference in Parental Commitment

Public scrutiny surrounding both athletes has been intense. Shoaib Malik made international headlines following his split from Indian tennis star Sania Mirza and his subsequent wedding to actress Sana Javed. Meanwhile, Imad Wasim’s personal life remains in the spotlight following Sannia’s public statements about his presence in their children’s lives post-separation.

By addressing the comment directly, Sannia emphasized a crucial boundary: while marriages may end, a parent’s dedication to their children should not. Her direct exchange has sparked a larger discussion online, with social media users actively debating the line between marital fallout and parental duty.
