In June 2024, rumors circulated online suggesting that Indian tennis star Sania Mirza was marrying cricketer Mohammed Shami, fueled by a photoshopped wedding photo of the two. The fake image went viral, but both families quickly dismissed the speculation. Sania’s father, Imran Mirza, called the rumors “rubbish” and emphasized that Sania values her privacy and wishes to keep her personal life out of the public eye.
The rumors gained traction after Sania’s divorce from Shoaib Malik, which was confirmed in January 2024, following his announcement of a second marriage to Pakistani actress Sana Javed. Similarly, Shami has faced his own personal challenges, having divorced his wife Hasin Jahan in 2018 amid serious allegations.
Despite these turbulent times, both sports stars continue to focus on their careers, with Sania’s statement reminding everyone of the importance of respecting privacy and the need to address rumors with truth.
