A video grab of Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik in the new TV commercial

It’s a TV commercial that has gone viral in Pakistan and that’s all thanks to Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza and her cricketer husband Shoaib Malik.

For the first time ever, the controversial couple was seen is a television ad (External link) for Swiss company Nestle.

The cute ad shows the two as any regular married couple with disagreements -- while Sania prefers ‘Amritsar ke laddoo’, the Pakistan cricketer wants ‘Multan ka Soan Halwa’; Sania's ears demand old Hindi music but Shoaib roots for Pakistani pop music, and so on.

After all that, they finally agree on their favourite brand of milk powder – Nestle Dairy Whitener.

The couple’s chemistry is well-captured in the commercial.

Sania, who had a dream 2015, winning 10 WTA titles -- including Wimbledon and US Open with doubles partner Martina Hingis -- and Shoaib, who is in the current Pakistan WT20 squad, married in 2010.
