The marriage of Pakistani pacer Hasan Ali to Indian national Shamia Arzoo has been creating a buzz for some time now. Hassan had announced earlier that he is going to marry Shamia in a private ceremony at Atlantis Palm Hotel in Dubai on August 20. Shamia is an Indian national who resides in a district in the state of Haryana, and met Ali during a random dinner in Dubai. Ali courted Shamia and sent a marriage proposal to her, which was duly accepted.
The marriage is going to take place and Hasan tweeted a picture of himself with a caption, ‘last night as a bachelor’. Hasan got a reply from Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, who is married to his cricket colleague Shoaib Malik. Sania wished the couple on their big day in her own cheeky way.
‘Congratulations Hasan. wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness .. this time you’ll have to treat us to more than Nandos though,’ Sania said in a tweet.
