Ever since the news of Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik's third marriage came, many reactions are being given regarding it on social media.  Some people are taking a dig at Shoaib's ex-wife and Indian tennis player Sania Mirza that she learned a lesson in marrying a Pakistani.  While taking a dig at Shoaib, some are also expressing sorrow for Sania.
 Meanwhile, it is being said on social media that on this matter, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said, “Sania Mirza and her Pakistani child will not get Indian citizenship at any cost.  India will not bear the consequences of anyone's stupidity."
 Himanta Biswa Sarma has not made any such tweet.  The viral screenshot was done from a fake X account created in his name.
 The truth came to light only after searching the ex account (@HimantaBishwaa) shown in the screenshot.  “Satire” was written in the name and bio section of this account itself.  This tweet was made from this handle on January 20.  However, this account was deleted before the news was published.
