Former Indian tennis star Sania Mirza has broken her silence on speculation about her personal life and relationships.
Mirza recently appeared at an event alongside her close friend, filmmaker Farah Khan. During the conversation, the topic of her private life and dating came up, and the hosts asked whether anyone had invited her out for coffee.
The former tennis star said her male friends often invite her out, but she regards them simply as friends rather than potential romantic partners.
Farah Khan added that some of her own friends regularly get in touch to ask whether Sania is really single.
Responding directly to the question, Mirza said there is currently no man in her life, and that she does not know whether there will be one in the future.
The exchange has once again put Mirza’s personal life in the spotlight, particularly given the various rumors about her relationships since her separation from Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik.
Mirza and Malik married in 2010, and the marriage ended in 2023. They have an 8-year-old son, Izhaan Mirza Malik.
Since the separation, the former athlete has largely kept her private life away from the media, focusing instead on her family and professional commitments.
Regarded as one of India’s most successful tennis players, Mirza announced her retirement from professional tennis in 2023. She reached a career-high ranking of 27th in singles and won a total of six Grand Slam titles across women’s doubles and mixed doubles.
