Sania Mirza, Shoaib Malik ‘divorce’: Shama Junejo slams Geo News over sensationalise reporting

After the rumoured divorce between Pakistan’s star cricketer Shoaib Malik and Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, Shama Junejo slammed Geo News for reporting the serious issue in a sensational way.

Geo News aired a report regarding Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza that one of the most loved couples in South Asia reportedly parted ways after 12 years of marriage. The media reports spread like wildfire on social media.

Geo News reported that Sania and Shoaib might make an official announcement of their divorce after the resolution of legal complications. However, the TV report was aired in quite a sensational way by the private news channel with an Indian item song in the background.

Columnist Shama Junejo expressed outrage over the sensational reporting by Geo News for a serious issue. She wrote on Twitter, “Divorce is most painful process of any marriage to break. I just don’t understand our TV channels playing Bollywood breakup songs on separation rumours of #SaniaMirza & #ShoaibMalik.”

Junejo added, “Have some shame guys, show some empathy to the couple. Think about their son. Stop it please!”
