A ROMANCE believed to have started in Australia has led to the impending wedding of two of the biggest sport stars on the sub-continent.
Indian tennis darling Sania Mirza and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik will marry on April 11.
Think of Romeo and Juliet with a dash of Posh and Becks and a heavy dose of Bollywood melodrama and you have the ingredients for these nuptials.
Their romance is a rare union of the rival nations’ most popular and controversial stars. They are believed to have met in January when Mirza was playing in the Hobart lead-up tournament to the Australian Open and Malik was on duty with Pakistan in the Bellerive Oval Test match.
Their romance developed during a tournament in February in Dubai, where Malik lives, and Mirza broke off her engagement to a childhood sweetheart.
Malik was once accused of marrying another Indian woman and then dumping her for being fat.
“My wedding is going to be the biggest day of my life,” Mirza said in a statement yesterday.
“I have been in the media glare for too long and would appreciate a little privacy at this personal moment.”
Mirza, last year’s Australian Open mixed doubles champion, said she and Malik (pictured right) would settle in Dubai and she would support both India and her husband-to-be in India-Pakistan cricket matches.
The call made front-page news, some saying it could bring peace between the feuding nuclear-capable neighbours.
Survive is bit harsh to use. And those morons opposing her marrying to a Pakistani are simply Indian version of Talibaan. And they cant do anything more than soaring out their stinking throats. So let them chant hell out of themselves, lets celebrate marriage of our respective heroin and hero.
from free secular society to hardliners fundamentalist society. sania’s plight is most unenviable.
As such she’s having time with her professional career. crashing out from first rounds of all grandslams. As one of the twitter brought out…" thank god, they dont have to do saat phere. sania will never able to past first round" …
so… ^^ if she survive (indian) fundamentalist chanting and demanding action against her for the crime of getting married to a Pakistani, then yes…you will have no objection to her tennis skirt…
// his you want to say…something is wrong in you your acceptance…

/\/ his you want to say...something is wrong in you your acceptance...
yes, we indians are really trailing behind your society in everything...education, modernisation, women' liberty etc etc...
so, i ask...will you, as a citizen of pakistan, tolerate her tennis skirt after she got married to a pak national...
What exactly do you call modernization? The fact that your bollywood stars regularly suck each others tongues and have sex as a hobby?!?
The more western you become the more modern and hence "better" you are?
Or do you mean modern in terms of infrastructure... Last I checked, more then half your population still struggle to make more then a dollar a day. People in your best city still have to run marathons just to get access to clean water...
I mean who are you trying to kid here? Please dont post pics of your Delhi metro as proof of you modernity.
LOL… Your free secular society is responsible for the mass genocide of thousands of people… Your a society of murderous hypocrites. Fact is that no one wants you India.
And your knowledge of Pakistan is as pathetic as you are… Your just a typical Indian with little or no knowledge of anything beyond his own village.
Go live in you secular fantasy. Ask the thousands you have murdered where they would.
That’s the choice Indians give people. Either you pretend your in a perfect state, or you end up in a mass grave like those in occupied Kashmir. At least the Chinese are overt about their suppression of any kind of perceived insults to the state, even the Pakistanis are unabashed anti secularists, but you Indians cloak your oppressive tendencies in the guise of freedom. Pretty disgusting if you ask me.
