In the last few months of her pregnancy phase, Sania had taken a break from tennis and ever since the arrival of baby Izhaan, her world revolves around her little munchkin. A few months after giving birth to her first child, Sania jumped back to the workout sessions and preparations for the 2020 Summer Olympics.

With dedicated and rigorous workouts, on March 10, 2019, Sania Mirza finally had her first informal tennis match in the court after the birth of her son, Izhaan Mirza Malik. Sharing a video of the same, Sania had captioned it, “So, this happened today”, followed by smiling emojis.
In an interview with Filmfare, Sania Mirza had revealed her plans to get back into competitive tennis and had remarked, “My plan is to try and get back whenever possible, but there are many factors that go into post-pregnancy recovery. I am going to take it as it comes. The first goal is to try and regain full fitness, which is not easy, because you have to start working out. Also, there is a timeline to be followed immediately after the delivery, and you can work out only after a few weeks. So, there are a number of things to be decided, but the plan is to try to get back by the 2020 Summer Olympics.”
In an interview with the Bombay Times, Sania Mirza had opened up about mommy-hood and the changes that came in her life after she welcomed her baby boy, Izhaan Mirza Malik. And that is exactly where the star mommy had revealed the nickname of her son. She had shared, “I do. Izhaan is seven months old and while he is extremely naughty, he’s also a very intelligent kid. He knows everything that’s going on (laughs!) and can communicate without words, I don’t know how! A lot of people call him Izzu; it is the universal name that everyone — fans, extended friends who don’t know him, and haven’t seen him — automatically call him. But I call him Izzi. Actually, I call him all kinds of things, but yes, I also call him Izzi or Laddoo.”
Speaking about her experience of motherhood, Sania Mirza had stated, “Life has definitely changed for the better, for sure. I think becoming a mother has helped me evolve as a person. Of course, small things have changed as well. Like, you don’t think about yourself, it all revolves around the baby now. Everything is about Izhaan and what he wants; what he wants to eat, when he wants to eat, etc, so you automatically take a backseat. Having said that, I’ve got a lot of help, so many loved ones lending a hand, that I still have time for myself as well. And I do think, motherhood has been the most fulfilling experience I have ever had.” (Also Read: Anita Hassanandani Reveals She Will Plan A Baby With Husband, Rohit Reddy Post 'Nach Baliye')
