Where many people are taken aback by this surprise wedding, at the same time they are curious about how the couple met. Earlier, they had been photographed together on various occasions. She was first spotted with Asser at Lord’s Cricket Stadium in London for the World Cup 2019.
After a few days, they were in Edgbaston Stadium for another match.
Aseer Malik recently attended his wife, Malala’s 24th birthday in July. He shared their picture on his Twitter account with a caption.
“Happy Birthday to the most amazing Malala, SRK had to make a necessary cameo of course.”

No matter how they met, it is evident that the couple had earlier known each other for a few years before tying the knot.
Many congratulations to the couple!
