“No fuss created, no blame game, no social media rants and no interviews or press conferences – Sania Mirza just released a statement and wished Shoaib Malik well for his future. She’s an elite athlete and an elite woman too,” a user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), referring to Sania Mirza’s family’s statement on her divorce.
“I no longer believe in love marriage. Think what Sania Mirza must be going through. Allah should have given you better than him. What happened was good,” another wrote.
