Malik, who is married to India’s tennis star Sania Mirza, tried to overtake Wahab Riaz’s car. Consequently, he lost control of his own four-wheeler and crashed into the stationed vehicle.

A Lahore based journalist, Ghulam Abbas Shah has uploaded the video on his Twitter account – the front of the car is utterly demolished, as can be seen in the video.
