I remember that 3 years ago, the wedding of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan caused similar kind of sensation and people were crazy for many days about it. Now, the same thing is happening. The presence of the first wife of Shoaib Malik in the same city that Sania Mirza lives added the perfect twist in the saga and it just made the wedding even more interesting to the mass people. <o:p></o:p></span></p>  ]]><p><a href="http://www.southasiabiz.com/2010/04/sania_shoaib_wedding_a_match_m.html#more">Continue Reading</a></p>	</description>
