Two Women, One Photo, and Sania Mirza’s Message That’s Stirring the Nation

May 8, 2025, 1:16 pm

Former tennis player Sania Mirza praised the powerful presence of two women officers—Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh—who accompanied Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri at the official briefing of Operation Sindoor, India’s retaliatory missile attack on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Their presence highlighted not only military accuracy but also symbolic national solidarity and advancement.

Sania, one of India’s finest athletes and a six-time Grand Slam winner, posted an article by reporter Faye D’Souza on social media. D’Souza explained, “The messaging in this very powerful photo perfectly captures who we are as a nation.” Sania Mirza retweeted it, giving her seal of approval to the diverse picture presented during the briefing—two women officers belonging to different religions standing together as leaders at the time of an important national juncture.

Operation Sindoor: Tactical and Symbolic Realignment

During the press conference in New Delhi, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri labeled the missile attacks a “measured and proportionate” reply to the Pahalgam terror attack of April 22, which took the lives of 26 people, including that of a Nepali citizen. The attacks, as per sources in the military, were conducted using ground- and air-based missiles, attacking nine identified terror sites.

Colonel Qureshi emphasized the strategic shift in India’s response, “For the last three decades, Pakistan has been constructing terror infrastructure, including recruitment centres, training areas, and launch pads across PoJK and Pakistan. This operation was intended to dismantle those facilities and prevent future attacks.”

Targets were Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Rawalakot, Bahawalpur, and Bhimber—areas long associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad. Of the nine targeted locations, five were in PoJK and four within Pakistan, signaling a far-flung operation. More than 70 terrorists were said to have been killed, with another 60 injured.

A Nation Responds and Reflects

The scene of Col Qureshi and Wing Commander Singh standing alongside the Foreign Secretary as part of the major national security briefing was in itself a jolt to people and public persons alike. Sania Mirza’s gesture towards highlighting this touch of diversity, unity, and women’s empowerment rang loudly and strongly, especially at a time of national tragedy and strategic expression.

India’s response to terror has not been just missiles and strategy—it has also conveyed a larger message of who governs and represents the nation at times when it counts the most.

Indian Cricketer Mohammed Shami Refutes Marriage Rumors With Sania Mirza

July 21, 2024, 3:30 pm

Veteran Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami has addressed and dismissed rumors regarding his supposed marriage to Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza. These rumors began circulating on social media following Sania’s divorce from former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik.

In an interview with Shubhankar Mishra on his YouTube show ‘Unplugged,’ Mohammed Shami not only refuted the rumors but also criticized those spreading fake news. He emphasized the importance of responsible meme creation, pointing out that while memes are often made for humor and entertainment, they should not hurt others’ sentiments.

“It’s weird and done purposely for some lame fun. But what can be done? If I open my phone, I see those memes. I think that memes are made for fun, but if they are related to someone’s life, then you must think about it before sharing. These people share from unverified pages and get away by saying anything and everything,” Shami remarked.

Mohammed Shami further stated that he would respond accordingly if such memes were shared from verified accounts. “But I would like to say one thing – if you have the guts to say all these things from a verified page, then I will reply. Try achieving success, help people, and upgrade yourself, then I will believe that you are a good person.”

Shami on Kohli and Sharma’s T20I Retirements
Shami also commented on the recent retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from T20 Internationals, following India’s T20 World Cup win in Barbados last month.

Kohli was the first to announce his retirement from the format after earning the Player of the Match award for his 76 off 59 balls, which led India to a seven-run victory over South Africa in the final at Kensington Oval on June 29. Kohli ended his T20I career as the second-highest run-scorer with 4,188 runs in 125 matches, including one century and 38 fifties.

Shortly after, Rohit Sharma, the highest-ever run-scorer in T20Is with 4,231 runs in 159 matches, also announced his retirement during the post-game press conference. This was followed by all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s retirement announcement.

“The retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from T20Is was a shock. They have been stalwarts for India, delivering outstanding performances and earning their titles as kings of white-ball cricket. Their simultaneous retirement is surprising, but it’s part of the natural cycle when one player leaves, another steps in. Replacing such stars will be a significant challenge,” Shami remarked.

These retirements mark the end of an era for Indian cricket, as the team looks to find new talent to fill the void left by these legendary players.

Sania Mirza retires from Grand Slam with second-place finish at Australian Open

January 27, 2023, 12:20 pm

Sania Mirza has finally bid adieu to the Grand Slam while standing second at the Australian Open on Friday. Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna came second to Luisa Stefani and Rafael Matos of Brazil in the Australian Open mixed doubles final at Melbourne Park as the Brazillian pair clinched their maiden Grand Slam.

Sania Mirza was competing in her final Grand Slam with Rohan Bopanna where the duo were defeated 7(7)-6(2), 6-2 by Luisa Stefani and Rafael Matos. Rohan Bopanna, who will turn 43 in March, and Sania Mirza, 36, had a difficult beginning because the latter was broken on his first serve.

In the fourth and eighth games, the Indian pair pounced on Luisa Stefani’s serves but lost the set in the tiebreaker as Rohan Bopanna once more struggled to hold his serve in the ninth game.

The Indian team, which advanced to the women’s doubles semi-finals at Rio 2016, survived an early defeat in the second set. Still, Rafael Matos and Luisa Stefani worked well together to break Sania Mirza’s serve in the fourth game.

Sania Mirza won two Grand Slam tournaments at the Australian Open. She won the Australian Open women’s doubles title with Martina Hingis in 2016 and the Australian Open mixed doubles title with Mahesh Bhupathi in 2009.

“My professional career started in Melbourne. I couldn’t think of a better arena to finish my [Grand Slam] career at,” stated an emotional Sania Mirza in the post-match interview.

On Wednesday, Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna defeated third-seeded Desirae Krawczyk and Neal Skupski 7-6(5), 6-7(5), and 10-6 to go to the Australian Open mixed doubles championship round. The Latvian-Spanish team of Jelena Ostapenko & David Vega Hernandez gave the Indian pair a walkover in the quarterfinals, securing their spot in the semi-finals on Tuesday.

The Rio Olympic semifinalists overcame Makoto Ninomiya of Japan and Ariel Behar of Uruguay 6-4, 7-6(11-9) on Monday to go to the quarterfinals against Ostapenko and Hernandez. In the first round, the Indian team defeated Australia’s Jaimee Fourlis and Luke Saville. Bopanna and his partner Mathew Ebden, who were seeded 10th, had fallen in the first round of the men’s doubles competition, while Mirza and her partner Anna Danilina from Kazakhstan had lost in the second round of the women’s doubles competition.

Yuki Bhambri, Saketh Myneni, and Ramkumar Ramanathan had all lost in the first round, as had they and their Mexican partner Miguel Angel Reyes-Varela. Before withdrawing, Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan and N Sriram Balaji had advanced to the second round. Men’s singles competition had no Indian competitors. Sania, a six-time Grand Slam champion, is competing in her last major tournament before her retirement from tennis on February 19 at the Dubai Tennis Championships, a WTA 1000 competition.

Sania has won six major doubles championships, including the Australian Open mixed doubles trophy in 2009 with Mahesh Bhupathi. She has won three women’s doubles titles and five mixed doubles wins. In the Australian Open doubles semi-final’s deciding set, a ten-point tiebreaker, Sania and Bopanna jumped off to a five-point lead and held it from then on to win the breaker 10-6 and go to the final. In their final match, Sania-Bopanna will compete in their first-ever Grand Slam final. Most notably, the pair competed in the semifinals of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. In the second semi-final, Rafael Matos and Luisa Stefani of Brazil and Olivia Gadecki and Marc Polmans of Australia will compete for the title.

Sania faces defeat in second round of women’s doubles

January 23, 2023, 1:42 pm

India tennis ace Sania Mirza’s women’s doubles career at the Grand Slam came to a disappointing end after she suffered a Round 2 defeat in the ongoing Australian Open 2023 on Sunday. Sania and her women’s doubles partner Anna Danilina lost to the unseeded duo of Anhelina Kalinina and Alison Van Uytvanck.

Playing at Court 7, Mirza and Danilina lost by a margin of 4-6, 6-4, 2-6 at Melbourne Park. Given that Mirza, a six-time Major champion, will retire after the Dubai Open next month, this was her final appearance in a women’s doubles Grand Slam match. In the opening set of the match, Mirza-Danilina nearly had an ideal start as they contested the Van Uytvanck serve. Five break points were available during the 11-minute match, but none were converted since the Belgian was able to hold serve. Earlier, Sania Mirza and Anna Danilina overpowered the Hungarian-American team of Dalma Galfi and Bernarda Pera to advance to the second round of women’s doubles. On the other hand, the Indian ace mixed doubles pair of Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna breezed into the second round at the Australian Open 2023 at Melbourne Park on Saturday
