Sunday witnessed Pakistan losing to India in the Cricket World Cup 2019 and all hell broke loose. Tweets were exchanged, a lot was said and done but the story didn’t end there.
Last night, someone on Twitter shared a video of Sania Mirza sitting at what looked like a Sheesha cafe with her husband Shoaib Malik, her son and a few others. Sania was not at all happy at this blatant breach of her privacy.
?That’s the video you shot without asking us,disrespecting our privacy even though we had a child with us?& got told off for doing so,& u came up with this crap?FYI ‘outing’ was dinner & yes ppl are allowed to eat if they lose a match!Bunch of fools!Try better content nxt time? https://t.co/51gnkMWUYu

This is where Veena Malik jumped into the conversation. She called Sania out for taking her son to a sheesha cafe and also asked if going out for junk food was good for her as an athlete/athlete’s wife and a mother.
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

Sania didn’t take someone schooling her on how to be a good mom or a good wife very well, and rightfully so. I mean Shoaib and Sania are adults, if they wanted to have junk food, so be it.
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

The situation was aggravated further after Sania referred to Veena’s ‘not so decent’ magazine shoots but then deleted her tweet but Veena was quick to notice it.
Have some guts & don't delete ur tweets.Fortunately the technology has progressed so much that people can't deny their acts.Oh the magazine's cover u mentioned had morphed images.Also I can bringup all the controversies U have ever had bt I would rather not divert the discusion. pic.twitter.com/8qednFvEBz

Sania refused to indulge in the conversation any further and blocked Veena (YIKES!).
Okay so this Happened. First, she tweeted then deleted that tweet right away and blocked me. I mentioned my concerns in a very civilised, calm & composed manner. It could have been a healthy debate. pic.twitter.com/aw6C36xI3o

But Veena went on to make another Twitter thread and talked about how it was high time people stopped bringing her past that she has tried hard to move on from (that is a rather fair point).
I'm not part of the film industry from almost 5 years or more.I went thrice to Kaabah cried and asked for forgiveness.I changed & evolved. The world has seen the transition as well. My dressing drastically changed from thongs to now how anyother Pakistani celebs dresses.

Last but not least, Shoaib Malik also jumped into the conversation yesterday and urged everyone to not drag athletes’ families into petty discussions.
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
