Discussions about Indian tennis star Sania Mirza’s marital status have been circulating widely on social media. Many fans have been suggesting potential partners for her, with some rooting for Bollywood’s most eligible bachelor, Salman Khan, while others believe Indian cricketer Mohammad Shami would be a suitable match.
Following her divorce from Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, rumors regarding Sania Mirza’s romantic associations have been rampant. The tennis star herself has made several candid revelations about the people linked to her over the years.
Bollywood Connections and Relationship Rumors
There have been numerous speculations regarding Sania Mirza’s connections with Bollywood celebrities. Some of these rumors have been addressed by Sania herself. One of the most talked-about alleged relationships involved Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor.
During a past appearance on filmmaker Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee with Karan, Sania Mirza dismissed the rumors of her alleged affair with Shahid Kapoor, labeling them as baseless. She firmly stated that there was never any romantic involvement between them.
Shahid Kapoor’s Reaction to the Affair Rumors
In an old interview, Shahid Kapoor suggested that the rumors about him and Sania Mirza may have been spread by the tennis player herself or by journalists. He outright denied any romantic involvement and seemed frustrated with the ongoing speculation.
Alleged Breakup Due to Shahid’s Behavior
Contrary to their public denials, some media reports have suggested that Shahid Kapoor and Sania Mirza were indeed in a relationship but later parted ways due to Shahid’s alleged possessiveness. According to these claims, it was Sania Mirza who decided to end the relationship, as she found Shahid’s controlling nature overwhelming.
When Shahid Kapoor was questioned about these allegations, he dismissed them outright, asserting that since he was never involved with Sania, the discussion about his behavior being a factor in their breakup was meaningless. Sania, too, later appeared annoyed by the ongoing speculation.
Sania’s Playful Dig at Shahid Kapoor
During the rapid-fire segment on Koffee with Karan, Sania Mirza made an intriguing revelation. When asked about hypothetical relationships with Bollywood actors, she mentioned she would like to hook up with Ranveer Singh and marry Ranbir Kapoor. However, when it came to Shahid Kapoor, she jokingly said, “I would like to kill him.”
Sania Mirza’s Marriage to Shoaib Malik
In 2010, Sania Mirza tied the knot with Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik in a grand ceremony. The couple welcomed their son, Izhaan Malik, in 2018. Prior to her marriage, Sania was engaged to her childhood friend Shoaib Mirza in 2009, but the engagement was called off within six months.
While speculations about Sania Mirza’s future relationships continue to surface, the tennis icon has largely remained focused on her career and personal life, avoiding unnecessary media hype around her past associations.
