Two years ago, on this day, Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik had stepped into the next phase of their happily married life i.e., parenthood when the stork had visited them with their little bundle of joy. Sania is a name synonymous with tennis, not only in India but across the world. Shoaib is the Pakistani cricketer and former captain of the team. It was in 2010 when Sania and Shoaib had blurred the geographical lines between the two nations by saying Qubool Hai in an intimate wedding ceremony. Eight years into marital bliss, Sania and Shoaib had embraced parenthood with the arrival of their ‘Baby Mirza Malik’.

Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik have named their little bundle of joy, Izhaan Mirza Malik and to announce the same, the latter had tweeted in 2018, “Thank you from the bottom of our heart to everyone for the wishes from Sania and I, and our families. Our son’s name is Izhaan #BabyMirzaMalik.” But do you know why Sania and Shoaib had decided to add ‘Mirza Malik’ as Izhaan’s surname? A few months before delivering her firstborn, Sania had attended the UN Women India's launch of #MujheHaqHai campaign event, wherein she had revealed that their child won’t just take his/her father’s family name (i.e. Malik) forward but will have ‘Mirza Malik’ as the surname. How progressive!
