Will Sania Mirza marry Mohammed Shami? Tennis icon's father ...
Netizens have been pouring their thoughts out on the sports icons’ alleged marriage on social media, calling them a "perfect match."
Sania Mirza and Mohammed Shami are two of the most famed and successful sportspersons from India. While Sania is the greatest women’s tennis player, Shami is a champion pace bowler who took the most wickets in the ODI World Cup 2023 with his remarkable performance.
However, lately, the star players are in the limelight due to their personal lives. Rumours about the marriage of Sania and Shami are doing the rounds on social media.
This comes in the wake of Sania and Pakistani cricket star Shoaib Malik’s divorce earlier this year, and Shami’s separation from his wife Hasin Jahan.
Is there any truth to this rumour? Mirza’s father breaks silence
Imran Mirza, Sania’s father, quashed and firmly dismissed the rumours of his daughter’s wedding with Mohammed Shami saying, “This is all rubbish. She has not even met him,” while speaking to NDTV.
Sania, who has transitioned into a commentator role after retiring from professional tennis, was last seen working as a pundit for the prestigious French Open 2024.

A manipulated photo claiming to show Sania Mirza and Mohammed Shami’s wedding took the internet by storm. The image, which falsely depicted Shami and Sania as a married couple, was debunked and exposed to be a doctored version of Sania’s 2010 wedding photo with Shoaib Malik.
Sania Mirza’s journey to Hajj
Five months after announcing a split with cricketer husband Shoaib Malik, Sania recently embarked on Hajj pilgrimage, marking a significant personal milestone. In a social media post, Sania shared her hopes and prayers for a ‘transformative experience’ during Hajj, through which she hoped to return as a better human being.
"As I prepare for this transformative experience, I humbly ask for your forgiveness for any wrongdoings and shortcomings," she wrote.
Sania further said that she hopes Allah accepts her prayers and guides her on this blessed path.
"I am deeply fortunate and feel immensely grateful. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I embark on this journey of a lifetime. I hope to come back as a better human being with a humble heart and stronger Imaan," she added.
