Sania Mirza, Shoaib Malik Blessed with a Baby Boy
Indian tennis star Sania Mirza and Pakistani
cricketer Shoaib Malik have become proud
parents to a baby boy.
The news broke after Malik tweeted about
the arrival of the baby on saying: “Excited
to announce: It’s a boy, and my girl is
doing great and keeping strong as usual
#Alhumdulilah. Thank you for the wishes and
Duas, we are humbled. #BabyMirzaMalik.”
Shohaib Malik also tweeted saying, their son
name is Izhaan and took an opportunity to
thank everyone on behalf of Sania and their
both families.
Earlier in April, when the ace tennis star
announced her pregnancy, she also added
that the couple had decided to give their child
the surname - Mirza Malik.
“Today I will tell you a secret. My husband and I
have spoken about it and we have decided that
whenever we have a child, the child will have
Mirza Malik as a surname and not just Malik. So
that’s where we stand as a family including my
husband. He actually wants a daughter,” Sania
said during a panel discussion titled ‘Gender
Bias’ at the Goa Fest 2018.
