Sania Mirza opens up about Challenges of being a single mother
Sania Mirza, the renowned Indian tennis star, was previously married to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. The couple shared a successful career journey and have a son, Izhaan Mirza Malik. Their divorce came after Shoaib suddenly announced his marriage to Sana Javed, and Sania’s family had to officially confirm the separation. Fans from both India and Pakistan expressed support for Sania during this difficult time.
Since the divorce, Sania has been raising Izhaan on her own. Shoaib Malik has stated that spending time with his son in Dubai remains his top priority.
During her show Serve It with Sania, she interviewed her celebrity friend Farah Khan, and the conversation turned to the challenges of parenting, particularly as a single mother. Farah acknowledged how tough parenting can be, especially when doing it alone.
Sania reflected that children are sensitive to tensions between parents, so it’s better to separate peacefully rather than expose them to a toxic environment. She also shared how Farah was a pillar of support during her lowest moments, comforting her on set when she felt overwhelmed. That support helped Sania regain strength and continue hosting her show.
