    IN PICTURES: Sania Mirza’s sister Anam ties the knot

    Tennis champion Sania Mirza’s sister Anam Mirza tied the knot with former cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin’s son Asaduddin in Hyderabad.

    Anam took to social media to make the announcement. The two looked resplendent in their wedding finery on their big day.

    Meanwhile, Sania Mirza looked lovely in a teal outfit. Husband Shoaib Malik was missing from the wedding celebrations – the former captain of the Pakistan Cricket Team is currently in Dhaka for the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

    Following the nikkah, the couple also hosted a reception the next day.

    Prior to the nikkah there was a sangeet.

    Sania Mirza reveals details of her first meeting with Shoaib Malik

    If there is one couple that has stood the test of time and the Indo-Pak conflict, it has to be Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza.

    In a recent interview, Sania revealed details of her first meeting with husband, Shoaib.

    Sania shared that the two met in a restaurant in Hobart, Australia.

    “We knew each other socially and then we bumped into each other at a restaurant in Hobart where you don’t even see animals/birds after 6 pm, forget people,” Sania said.

    “Must’ve been destiny that we met over there to be very honest. Only later, I realised that he had actually planned to come to the restaurant because I was there. I was giving destiny all the credit but it was clearly not,” she laughed.

    Sania and Shoaib got married on April 12, 2010 in Hyderabad followed by another ceremony in Sialkot, Pakistan. The two welcomed a baby boy, Izhaan Mirza Malik, in October 2018.

    Meanwhile, Sania also confirmed that she will be returning to courts, two years after taking a maternity break, at the Hobart International in January 2020.

    ‘Every story has an end’: Sania Mirza says she is proud of everything Shoaib Malik has achieved

    Indian tennis star and Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik’s wife, Sania Mirza, has said she is proud of her husband, who announced retirement from ODI cricket following Pakistan’s last match of the 2019 Cricket World Cup.

    “Today I retire from One Day International [ODI] cricket. Huge thank you to all the players I have played with, coaches I have trained under, family, friends, media and sponsors. Most importantly, my fans. I love you all. PakistanZindabad,” the all-rounder tweeted, ending his career spanning over 20 years.

    As soon as Malik announced his decision, Sania took to social media to congratulate the veteran on an astounding career.

    “Every story has an end, but in life, every ending is a new beginning.  Shoaib Malik, you have proudly played for your country for 20 years and you continue to do so with so much honour and humility. Izhaan and I are so proud of everything you have achieved but also for who you are,” she wrote.

    “I am retiring from one-day cricket. I’m sad as I’m leaving the format I loved the most but this will allow me to spend more time with my family and concentrate on the Twenty20 World Cup next year,” Malik had said in a press conference after the match against Bangladesh Friday.

    Malik played 287 ODIs and scored 7,534 runs with nine hundreds. His performance in the 2019 World Cup, however, left his fans disappointed.

  • Veena Malik trolls Sania Mirza, gets blocked

    Veena Malik trolls Sania Mirza, gets blocked

    Well well, this is one phadda we didn’t see coming. After endlessly trolling Maryam Nawaz Sharif, Veena Malik turned her attention to bhabhi Sania Mirza. She first called Sania out for the way she is upbringing her son before subtly blaming her for Pakistan’s humiliating defeat against India in the ICC World Cup 2019.

    ICYMI, Veena’s tweet referred to the fact that the cricket players were allegedly hanging out at a local restaurant in Manchester and smoking sheesha a few hours before the big match.

    To this Sania first replied:

    However, a few minutes later she deleted this tweet and posted:

    While most of us thought that this would be the end of the discussion, Veena decided that she had more to say on this.

    This clearly did not sit well with Sania who decided to block Veena. And Veena being Veena shared this nugget of information with her followers.

    Veena clearly likes to have the last word, so she posted a couple of more tweets on the matter.

    She even clarified, once again, that the magazine cover which featured her nude was photoshopped and added that Sania has her own share of controversies.

    In the end, did Veena try to hint that Sania might just be an undercover Indian agent? Iss baat ka jawaab toh sirf Veena hee day sakti hain.
