Sania expressed her hope that Allah will accept her prayers and guide her along this blessed path.
Digital Desk: Renowned Indian tennis icon Sania Mirza is gearing up for a significant spiritual journey to Hajj, nearly five months following her public announcement of separation from her cricketer husband, Shoaib Malik. Having recently concluded her illustrious career in professional tennis, Sania's most recent appearance was as a pundit during the prestigious French Open 2024.
In a recent post on social media this Sunday, the Indian sports legend conveyed her excitement for the forthcoming transformative pilgrimage, articulating her aspirations of emerging from the experience as a more enlightened individual.
"As I prepare for this transformative experience, I humbly ask for your forgiveness for any wrongdoings and shortcomings," Sania posted on social media on Sunday.
Sania expressed her hope that Allah will accept her prayers and guide her along this blessed path.
"I am deeply fortunate and feel immensely grateful. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I embark on this journey of a lifetime. I hope to come back as a better human being with a humble heart and stronger Imaan," she added.
Sania recently made an appearance on a renowned comedy show, engaging in a lively conversation with comedian Kapil Sharma. Throughout the interview, she delved into her remarkable career, particularly emphasizing her triumphant partnership with Martina Hingis during 2015-16.
"I think all of the women sitting on this couch can understand this...when you hit a streak (winning back-to-back), athletes like to call it being 'In the zone'... Honestly, I think that's the best way I can describe what Martina and I had for those six months."
"We used to feel, we wouldn't lose when we stepped into the court. And this feeling is very rare for athletes to experience. I was so humbled and privileged that I was able to experience that," said Sania.
"After starting in August 2015, we went on to lose our first match only after six months in 2016 -- March. So, for almost six to seven months, we forgot the feeling of losing," she added.
