New Delhi: Rumours are rife that tennis icon Sania Mirza, who recently went for Hajj five months after her divorce from Shoaib Malik is marrying another cricketing star Mohammed Shami.
Notably, champion pace bowler Shami, also separated from his wife Hasin Jahan earlier this year.
There is no truth to the wedding rumours. Sania Mirza’s father Imran told NDTV: “This is all rubbish. She has not even met him.”
Sania Mirza was most recently working as a pundit for the prestigious French Open 2024. Taking to social media, the Indian sporting icon revealed that she is now gearing up for a ‘transformative experience’, from which she hopes to return as a better human being.
Earlier, in a post on social media on Sunday, Sania wrote: “As I prepare for this transformative experience, I humbly ask for your forgiveness for any wrongdoings and shortcomings.”

Sania said she hopes Allah accepts her prayers and guides her on this blessed path.
She added: “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.”
Sania was also recently spotted on a famous comedy show where she spoke to comedian Kapil Sharma about her decorated career, especially her partnership with Martina Hingis in 2015-16.
During the conversation, Sania shared: “I think all of the women sitting on this couch can understand this…when you hit a streak (winning back-to-back), athletes like to call it being ‘In the zone’… Honestly, I think that’s the best way I can describe what Martina and I had for those six months.”
