Relationships are a two-way street and it takes constant nurturing and efforts to grow rather than just investing in it and putting it in a box. For more than eleven years, Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik have nurtured their relationship and today, they're living their 'happily ever after' journey with their super-adorable kid, Izhaan Mirza Malik. Over the years, Sania and Shoaib were subjected to hatred and trolls, but they have let nothing come in between or take a toll on their relationship.

It was on April 12, 2010, when Indian tennis sensation and former World No. 1 doubles player, Sania Mirza and Pakistani cricketer and former captain, Shoaib Malik had said ‘Qubool Hai’ in a private wedding ceremony, blurring the geographical lines between the two nations. Ever since Shoaib and Sania became each other’s forever, they have stood by each other through thick and thin. Despite being blamed for each other’s performances, Sania and Shoaib overcame every obstacle like a perfect team!
To mark their eleventh wedding anniversary, Sania Mirza posted two pictures with Shoaib Malik, depicting their togetherness through the 'thick' and 'thin'. Wishing her 'main' on their eleventh anniversary, Sania wrote, "Through ‘thick’ and ‘thin’ they said, through good and bad. Happy Anniversary to my main... to many more years of irritating you InshaAllah. 11 YEARS!!!" Sania posted a throwback picture from the time, when she was pregnant and the other one was from her 34th birthday celebrations in Dubai.
Last year, to mark their 10th wedding anniversary on April 12, 2020, Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza had posted heartfelt wishes for each other on social media.

Though it has been eleven years since Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik had embarked on their marital journey, not much is known about their relationship and how love had blossomed between them. In a 2019 interview with India Today, Sania had recalled the moment when she met Shoaib for the first time and was quoted as saying, "We knew each other socially and then we bumped into each other at a restaurant in Hobart where you don’t even see animals/birds after 6 pm, forget people. Must’ve been destiny that we met over there to be very honest. Only later I realized that he had actually planned to come to the restaurant because I was there. I was giving destiny all the credit but it was clearly not."
In an interview with Editor-in-Chief of ThePrint, Shekhar Gupta for his show, Walk the Talk, Sania Mirza had talked about the fact that she didn’t want a long courtship with her beau, Shoaib Malik. She had stated, "Yes. A lot of other factors would have made it difficult for us to have a long courtship. We are well known in our countries so it would have been very difficult to keep it under wraps. All kinds of stories start from baseless rumours. Relationships are personal. I didn’t want to read my personal stories in the newspapers, every morning. I mean it’s just not nice when we are all from respectable families. We just started talking about it. I think that’s the most important thing about our relationship. We both were very honest and our thoughts about marriage and companionship matched. We agreed on 95 per cent of things."
