Six members of Shoaib Malik's family have applied for visas to travel to India for the Pakistani cricketer's much-anticipated wedding with tennis star Sania Mirza.
"Six members of the Malik family have applied for visas but Shoaib himself hasn't submitted his application so far. But he is expected to do it soon," official sources said.
The applications were submitted by Shoaib's uncle Zafar Malik. Sources also confirmed that Shoaib's mother was granted visa to travel to India last month.
It is speculated that Shoaib's mother made the marriage proposal to the Mirza family during the trip. Shoaib and Sania are set to marry next month and shift to Dubai after tying the knot.
