Here’s what she said, “Now I’m pregnant and every time I meet someone, the first thing that people say is they would pray that I am blessed with a baby boy but I request them not to do this and if they want to pray for me, pray for a girl child instead, why are you praying for a boy child? That is the sort of mindset that we grow up with consciously or subconsciously.”
She further shared that people used to feel pity for her for not having a brother. She said, “I come from a family of two girls and till today even after everything that I have achieved or try to achieve, when people meet me, they ask, “Do you not have any brother?” and when I answer “No”, they say “oh” (arey). And I am like, that’s fine, it’s absolutely okay because we never felt that need.” (Also Read: Taimur Ali Khan and Kainaat Singh's Playdate, She Can't Stop Laughing As He Looks At Her)
She also went on to add that the gender of her child won’t matter to her at all. Rather than this, she would make sure that her kid treats everyone equally. Sania Mirza retorted, "Whether I have a baby boy or girl, it doesn't matter. What matters is that I raise my child to think of themselves as equal to everyone else.” In fact, she also revealed that her husband, Shoaib wants a baby girl. She gushed, “And a secret is that my husband wants a girl very badly." (Don't Miss: Sanjay Dutt And The Women In His Life, From Tina Munim, Madhuri Dixit To Manyata Dutt)
