Chaos in Sania-Shoaib's reception: Uninvited guests and security mismanagement marred Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik's reception in Sialkot, Pakistan, forcing the hassled newly-weds to leave the function before it was over.
Newly wed: Reports claimed that along with the newly-weds, Sania's family, which had arrived from India for the celebrations, left for Lahore early as they were upset at the mismanagement at the function. In their efforts to stop the 'uninvited guests' from entering the reception held at a hockey stadium, private security guards did not even allow some of Shoaib's relatives and friends to enter the venue.
Gate crashers: Eyewitnesses said hundreds of people showed up for the reception many of whom were not invited. There were reports that invitation cards for the wedding reception had been sold by some people for between Rs 5000 to Rs 10,000. To make matters worse, power corporation officials insisted that no extra lighting would be allowed at the reception.
Family upset: There was chaos soon after Sania, clad in a green and maroon sari with gold brocade, and Shoaib, in a white sherwani, entered the venue at 9 pm. A reported 2,000 people showed up as against 1,000 invitees. Shoaib and Sania were escorted by security guards as they tried to avoid a crowd of guests.
What was served?
The guests were served chicken korma and rice in keeping with the government's ban on serving more than one dish at wedding receptions. However, a petition was filed in the Lahore High Court alleging that more than one dish was served.
No cricketing stars : No cricket star attended the Sialkot reception of former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik, who has been banned by the PCB for a year for his role in inciting player unrest during Pakistan's tour of Australia.
