Pakistan cricket team’s loss against India in the ongoing Cricket World Cup is still recent. Fans and the players have still not come to complete terms with it. Many people are finding scapegoats to blame the defeat on. While some have theories about lack of fitness others have pointed at Captain Sarfaraz’ weak leadership. Some fans have also found humor as a way to cope with the outcome.
One theory with regards to the defeat against India was that Pakistani players, including Shoaib Malik, were allegedly out at 2am the night before the match with India
Heart broken Pakistan cricket fans say they saw Shoaib Malik & others smoking Sheesha at 2am on Sunday, Wilmslow Road, just few hours before fight against India;smoking Sheesha is not a crime but just few hours before crucial fight against India in the World Cup match? #PAKvIND pic.twitter.com/bcKZEwXRoC

There was massive criticism directed at all these people to which Sania responded

One of the critics coming for Sania was Veena Malik, who criticized Sania because she thought Sania had taken her baby to the sheesha place
Sania, I am actually so worried for the kid. You guys took him to a sheesha place isn't it Hazardious? Also as far as I know Archie's is all about junk food which isn't good for athletes/Boys. You must know well as you are mother and athlete yourself? https://t.co/RRhaDfggus

Of course Sania lashed right back at her and defended her family from criticism
Veena,I hav not taken my kid to a sheesha place. Not that it’s any of your or the rest of the world’s business cause I think I care bout my son a lot more than anyone else does 🙂 secondly I am not Pakistan cricket team’s dietician nor am I their mother or principal or teacher- https://t.co/R4lXSm794B

This has resulted in social media erupting over this unexpected feud between the two celebrities
Veena has been trending on top on Twitter in Pakistan until the time of publishing, with Sania and Shoaib also among top trends.
People are shocked by this very sudden phadda between the two very unlikely celebrities

People did get offended with Sania tweeting and then deleting some remarks over Veena’s clothing… or lack of it
Such Cheap Mentality shown by Sania Mirza calling out Veena Malik for her past, the past that she has left behind.
Grow up Please🙏#SaniaMirza #VeenaMalik pic.twitter.com/fWfqAzS5f7— Fahad Abbaci (@imfahadabbasi17) June 18, 2019
They’ve been calling out Sania for slut-shaming Veena
Not that what Veena said is defensible but one has to conceded that Sania did go extreme, if she did actually comment about Veena’s “infamous” photoshoot.
Sania Mirza slut shamed a woman who is decently raising her point. This is what woman empowerment you talk about @MirzaSania. So dissapointed. Didn't expect this kind of thing at least from your side.More power to Veena becoz she is not wrong here#SaniaMirza #VeenaMalik pic.twitter.com/zQiPrW4VIU

Sania Mirza Showed her cheap mentality when Veena Malik although sarcastically but said the right thing.. And to dodge the bullet she played the slut shaming card.. And then deleted the tweet and posted a shortened tweet. But too late SS taken #bhabhichurail #feelsorry4Malik pic.twitter.com/hLyHXTzW9G

This led to Sania taking a break from social media
Twitter cracks me up 😂 and some ppl for sure .. you guys really need other mediums of taking your frustrations out ..
peace out guys ✌🏽 it’s break time 😉— Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) June 17, 2019
Even Shoaib made a cryptic tweet about people and media not attacking his family
On behalf of all athletes I would like to request media and people to maintain respect levels in regards to our families, who should not be dragged into petty discussions at will. It’s not a nice thing to do

What do you think about this very unexpected phadda?
