Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik have a big reason to smile – they have been blessed with a baby boy today. New dad Shoaib took to Twitter to share the news. ‘Excited to announce: Its a boy, and my girl is doing great and keeping strong as usual #Alhumdulilah. Thank you for the wishes and Duas, we are humbled #BabyMirzaMalik, he wrote.
The couple, who got married in 2010, had confirmed the pregnancy in April this year. At the time of their marriage, both athletes on top of their games were clear that their careers wouldn’t be compromised. In a HT Brunch interview, the tennis star had said, “He has been more ready for this than me for the last few years, to be honest. He’s also a few years older than me, so that’s understandable. But he never told me, ‘Maybe we should… this is the time…’ I really respect that in a man. It is often taken for granted that as a woman you will put your life on hold and do what’s expected. I never felt that pressure. I’ve always wanted to have a child and have a family, I just didn’t know when…”
Sania, who had earlier described pregnancy as the biggest match of her life, kept herself active till at least a few days ago. On October 26, she tweeted, ‘A two Kilometer walk never felt more tiring’. Through her second trimester, she did yoga four times a week. She didn’t stay away from the court either.
Throughout the pregnancy, Sania wasn’t the one to avoid the limelight, and kept serving us maternity wear lewks.
