Former tennis star Sania Mirza has opened up about her deep personal struggle after her separation from Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. In the first episode of her YouTube talk show, ‘Serving It Up with Sania’, she revealed how filmmaker and close friend Farah Khan became her emotional support during one of her most delicate moments.
The revelation came on the first episode of Sania’s newly launched YouTube talk show, Serving It Up with Sania, where Farah appeared as her first guest. Meanwhile, Sania revealed how during one of her toughest days, her best friend’s timely intervention before a live show helped her pull herself together.
Sania said, “I don’t want to mention it on camera, but there was a moment which was very disappointing for me, when you (Farah Khan) came on my set and after that I had to go to a live show.” “If you hadn’t been there, I would have been shaking. And if you hadn’t been there, I wouldn’t be doing that show. You told me, ‘No matter what, you’re doing this show.'”
Recalling the same day, Farah said that she was nervous after seeing Sania upset. She said, “I was very scared. I had to shoot that day, but I left everything and came there in my pajamas and slippers.” She further said that she just wanted to be with her friend at that moment.
In this conversation, Farah also praised Sania for handling the responsibility of being a single parent so strongly and gracefully. She said, “To work alone, you have to work hard, you have to raise your son and give him time. It is double the hard work, and you are doing it beautifully.”
Sania married Shoaib Malik in April 2010, and their son Izhaan Mirza Malik was born in 2018. In January 2024, soon after Shoaib announced his marriage to Pakistani actress Sana Javed, his family confirmed the couple’s separation. Her sister Anam Mirza revealed that Sania had separated a few months ago and requested privacy for her at this sensitive time.
