India's top female tennis player Sania Mirza and Pakistani cricket star Shoaib Malik plan to wed in a unique union bridging the two nations' bitter sporting and political divide. "My wedding is going to be the biggest day of my life," Mirza said in a statement late Monday from her home town of Hyderabad.
Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik are planning a small, private ceremony in Hyderabad, but their match will inevitably generate huge interest in their respective countries.
Mirza and Malik, are both Muslim, will marry in April and live in Dubai, members of the two families told local media. Sania will continue to play tennis and represent India, while Shoaib will turn out for Pakistan. The alliance has been blessed by both families.
