Tennis star Sania Mirza, who missed a Gold at the Commonwealth Games, is back home in Hyderabad after four-and-a-half months since her marriage. Sania has now shifted to Dubai to live with her husband — Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. However, her husband Shoaib will not be able to join her at his in-laws place.
“Sania has told us that she needs complete rest and wants to enjoy home cooked food, prepared by her mom. It’s strictly family time for her because she also needs to recuperate from the grueling schedule of the Commonwealth Games,” says a source close to the Mirza family.
Shoaib, who was accompanying Sania at the games, had to leave for Pakistan to take part in the domestic tournaments there. The cricketer was staying at a hotel in Delhi during the CWG. He missed Sania’s final match as he had to fly back to Pakistan. Sania’s dad and mom however were at the court.
“Shoaib might come down to take her back to Dubai but at the moment he is busy playing in Pakistan. The controversy during his wedding had scarred him but he has healed now and expects that he will be welcomed in Hyderabad the way he was welcomed in Pakistan as well,” the source close to the family said adding that the former Pakistani cricket captain is indeed a tad bit worried about the kind of reception he will get in Hyderabad now.
So, how is Sania managing in Dubai? “She is happy. It’s a little different because she is alone there as opposed to India where she had the family rallying around her. But her dad and mom are as close to her as they used to be and Imran (her dad) still keeps a very strict eye on her practice and on her tournaments.
Nevertheless, she is managing well on her own there and of course, she is facing no problems regarding her game because the sports infrastructure there (in Dubai) is really world class,” the source adds.
So, what will be Sania doing when she staying home? “Well lots of home parties are in the pipeline for her. Meeting with her close friends and cousins and of course, movies on DVD are also in order. Sania is a movie freak,” the source ends.
