Former Indian tennis star Sania Mirza has addressed questions about her relationship status on a talk show, admitting that she’s single.
Mirza appeared on “Double Date” with her close friend, filmmaker Farah Khan. Hosts Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi asked whether anyone had invited her on a coffee date as the conversation turned to her dating life.
Mirza replied that her male friends often invite her on holidays, but they treat her like one of the boys rather than a potential partner.
Khan then revealed that some of Mirza’s friends keep asking her whether Mirza is “genuinely single”. Mirza answered the question directly.
“There is no man in my life, and I don’t know if there might be one in the future,” she said.
Her comments have renewed interest in her private life since her split from Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. The couple married in 2010 and have a son, Izhaan Mirza Malik, born in 2018. They separated in 2023. Malik married Pakistani TV actress Sana Javed in January 2024.
Mirza has kept her personal life largely out of the public eye since the separation and has focused instead on family and professional commitments.
She retired from professional tennis in 2023. She won six Grand Slam titles in mixed and women’s doubles and reached a career-high singles ranking of World No. 27.
