Recently, Sania Mirza shared a post on her social media handle, wherein she expressed how difficult it is to leave home, especially her almost-two-month-old baby, for professional commitments. Sharing a picture with Izhaan, cuddling him in his arms, Sania captioned it, “Never thought I’d find leaving home so difficult .. After a hard day at work and away from Izhaan .. this is all I want to come back to #Allhamdulillah”.
On November 15, 2018, Sania celebrated her 32nd birthday amidst family, friends and Junior Mirza Malik. Sania had a birthday bash with her family by her side including husband, Shoaib Malik, sister Anam Mirza, parents Imran Mirza and Nasima Mirza and the little munchkin, Izhaan Mirza Malik. Sania, Anam and Shoaib shared some glimpses of the birthday celebrations. Here’s a family picture from her birthday celebrations:
In her latest interview with Filmfare, Sania talked in length about pregnancy, getting back on the court and explaining how women don’t really need to choose between things, don’t need to be an either-or person and can have it all. When asked, “Was your pregnancy experience what you had expected?”, Sania retorted, “The experience was good—it was overwhelming and different. I think, as women, we underestimate our bodies and what they can do, and I had that self-realisation. I feel privileged that I was able to go through it. I had a decently easy pregnancy if there is such a thing.” (Also Read: Sania Mirza And Her 5-Day-Old Son Izhaan Watch Daddy Shoaib Play Cricket On TV Together)
If she missed tennis and being in action, first with the knee injury and then the pregnancy, Sania clarified, “Of course, I miss being away from tennis and playing. With the knee, I was out of action for a few months and I had thought that I would go back as soon as it healed. But then we decided to have a baby. I think that mentally I was prepared for this long gap, and at the end of the day, in life, you should experience everything. That said, yes, I do miss tennis and that’s why you saw me playing occasionally even during my pregnancy.”
Sania Mirza didn’t keep herself away from the tennis court till the seventh month of her pregnancy. When asked what kept her active and fit, Sania shared, “I played tennis. I did yoga three to four times a week. I walked, almost three to four kilometres a day. I tried to stay as active as possible. That’s the message I wanted to give out as well. It’s important for women to be active during pregnancy, as long as there are no medical complications or they haven’t been advised against it. It was getting tougher to stay as active late into the pregnancy, but I still tried to walk a few kilometres every day, and practise yoga.” (Also Read: Sania Mirza's First Picture With Her Baby Boy Izhaan Mirza Malik While Coming Out Of The Hospital)
