Sania celebrates 10th anniversary with cricketer-husband Shoaib

Sania Mirza on Sunday celebrated her 10th marriage anniversary with husband and veteran Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik. Sania shared a couple of pictures with her husband Shoaib on social media and wished him a “Happy Anniversary”.

Sania was also tongue in cheek in her post as she compared the two contrasting pictures and wrote “Expectations vs reality”.

“Happy Anniversary @realshoaibmalik. A decade of being married looks like this!! Expectation vs reality. Swipe right for reality,” Mirza captioned the pictures on Instagram.

Sania and Shoaib tied the knot in 2010 here and have a year-old son named Izhaan.

After giving birth to her child in October 2018, Sania returned to the court in January this year. She clinched the women’s doubles title at Hobart International, pairing up with Nadiia Kichenok, in her comeback competition.

Sania recently shared a photo of her son with a tennis racquet in hand, looking confused. “I am pretty sure he’s thinking what the fuss is all about? #IzhaanMirzaMalik,” Sania said in her Twitter post.

Sania has last played at the Qatar Open in February.  Recently, She has helped raise Rs 1.25 crore in one week which will help close to 1 lakh people in need during the 21-day lockdown to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

“The last week we have tried as a team to provide some help to the people in need..we provided food to thousands of families and raised 1.25 Crore in one week which will help close to 1 Lakh people.its an ongoing effort and we are in this together,” Sania said in a tweet.

Sania had stepped forward to raise money to provide food and other basic necessities for the daily wage workers during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Due to the lockdown and curfews, the informal sector has been badly affected and those who depend on daily wages are struggling to provide for their families.

Sania had shared a video last week on her social network supporting the Safa organisation and pledged to donate and asked people to make a contribution for the workers during this tough time.

“In this difficult time that the world is going through, we are privileged to be able to sit at home, in comfort and wait for everything to be ok again... there are thousands of people who aren’t that lucky enough and it’s our responsibility to take care of them in whatever capacity we can,” said Sania.
