Social media debates: Is Sana Javed mimicking Anushka Sharma?

Support saw mixed reviews with some fans admiring the gestures while others accusing Sana of mimicking Anushka

Pakistani actress Sana Javed and her husband, star all-rounder Shoaib Malik, have ignited social media once again with their public appearances.

The match, held on Saturday, was a spectacle, not just for the cricket but also for the array of celebrities in attendance. The presence of Bollywood stars added to the glamour, but it was the Pakistani actress who stole the spotlight. Sana Javed was seen passionately cheering for her husband, Shoaib Malik, who delivered a stellar performance leading Pakistan to a 68-run victory over India.

Throughout the match, cameras frequently focused on Sana Javed, capturing her range of emotions — from tense moments to exuberant celebrations as Malik took key wickets. Her support for her husband quickly went viral, with numerous photos and videos being shared widely on social media.

However, the social media reaction was mixed. Many users couldn’t help but draw comparisons between Sana Javed’s supportive presence and that of Indian actress Anushka Sharma, who is often seen cheering for her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli. Critics accused Sana of mimicking Anushka’s style of stadium support, dubbing her the “Pakistani Anushka Sharma.”

Despite the comparisons, many fans praised Sana Javed for her unwavering support. They admired her for standing by her husband and being a source of encouragement during such a crucial match. This gesture resonated with many, who saw it as a beautiful display of partnership and solidarity.
