Sania Mirza shares cryptic post after celebrating son's birthday with Shoaib Malik

Tennis star Sania Mirza shared a cryptic post on Instagram on October 30, a day after she celebrated her son Izhaan Mirza Malik’s fifth birthday with Shoaib Malik in Dubai.

“Behind every strong, independent woman stands a little girl who had to learn to stand up alone without depending on others,” the post reads.

Take a look:

The aforementioned Instagram story was followed by a set of photos from her son Izhaan’s birthday celebrations. It showed her posing with her son during the cake-cutting ceremony. The photos also featured Dua, daughter of Sania’s sister Anam Mirza.

Sania Mirza and Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, who welcomed their son Izhaan in 2018, had a mini pre-birthday celebration for their son in Dubai. They shared photos from the same on Instagram with emotional notes.

“Happy birthday to the brightest star of our lives. No matter how dark it is around me, your smile makes it all better. I am so grateful to Allah for blessing me with you. Thank for showing me what unconditional love truly means. You have my heart forever my baby boy” Sania wrote.

While Shoaib posted pictures with Izhaan, featuring Sania in the background, with the caption: “Happy birthday beta. Baba loves you.”

Separation rumours of Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik have been making headlines since November 2022. The chatter about their separation died down after the duo shot together for the show ‘The Mirza Malik Show’, and Shoaib expressed that he missed Sania during Eid. However, the rumours resurfaced this year when the Pakistani cricketer updated his Instagram bio and removed the chunk that read: “Husband to a Superwoman @mirzasaniar.”

Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik got married in 2010.
