The 41-year-old sportsman says that one must be understanding in a relationship and make a decision based on the other person’s nature as well. He further said:
“Ek particular cheez ka main bohot shukar adaa karta hun ki woh ye hai ki main fight nahi karta. Main relationship ko end nahi karta wo kisi k saath bhi ho. Haan but ye seekha hai ki jo main feel karta hun wo point of view zaroor rakhta hun. Now I communicate.”
For the unversed, Shoaib Malik tied the knot with the Indian ace tennis player, Sania Mirza, in lavish wedding ceremonies held in both India and Pakistan in 2010. The duo welcomed their son, Izhaan, in 2018. However, reports suggest that Shoaib and Sania have parted ways and are currently co-parenting their son.

He also addressed women, encouraging them not to limit themselves to caring for their households, but also to maintain their own sense of individuality. And further talks about believing that communication is key and should always be the top priority in any relationship.

“Maine expect karna hi bandh kar diya hai. Main nahi expect karta ab kisi se. Main sirf Allah ki zaat se expect karta hun. Mere jitne log hai jinse meri jaan pehchan hai unke liye jaan bhi haazir hai.”
As soon as Shoiab ends his sentence, the host then asks him how many times he has got his heart broken. And then the cricketer says, “Mujhe lag raha ab hai hi nahi andar”.
