Indian Tennis star Sania Mirza has given cuteness alert as she is all set to welcome her first baby with Pakistani cricketer-husband Shoaib Malik.
However, she recently opened up on her pregnancy and marriage clarified that she hasn’t exchanged the marriage vows with former Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik to improve the relations between India and Pakistan.
Sania MIrza in an interview cited that “A lot of people have this notion that Shoaib and I got married to unite the two countries. That is not true. Whenever I have been to Pakistan – and I go once every year to meet my in laws – the love that I get there is immense. The whole country calls me ‘bhabhi’, and they give me so much respect".
Tennis ace Sania Mirza shuts all the controversies about his upcoming baby being Indian or Pakistani in october “Tags are a part of being a public figure. I play for my country, my family, for myself, and so does my husband. We are aware of the responsibilities we carry, but we do not take these tags seriously. They may make for a good headline, but don’t mean anything to us at home!” she went on to add.
"I also know that that love is not necessarily for me, it is for my husband who has been cricket captain and what he means to everyone there. The respect they have for him transcends to the respect for me… Just like when Shoaib comes here, and he gets the love and respect of our countrymen",as quoted in Indian Express.
