layman;274081I can't believe it. Is this true ? http://sports.rediff.com/report/2010/mar/29/sania-mirza-engaged-to-shoaib-malik.htm
You revived a thread 2.5 yrs old : ) I can't believe it either though it seems to be true enough. I wish her luck, and after reading
parts of the news, somehow have a feeling she'll need lots of it.

Confirming the news, Malik wrote in his Twitter page, "Thanks for all your support. And the news of me marrying to Sania is true. Inshallah will get married in April."
"I fully understand what it takes to be an international sports person and I will support Sania in her career as long as she wishes to play," he said.
"Representing India [ Images ] at the 2012 Olympics [ Images ] is very important for her and I will be the proudest husband if she can win a medal for her country," he added.
A statement by Sania's father Imran Mirza also stated that 23-year-old Sania and the 28-year-old all-rounder will be based in Dubai [ Images ], where Malik is a resident.
"This is a unique case where the husband and wife will represent their respective countries in sport," said Mirza in Hyderabad.
"My wedding inshallah is going to be the biggest day of my life. I have been in the constant glare for too long and would appreciate privacy at this very personal moment in my life," Sania was quoted as having said in a statement.
"I hope to be fully fit to represent India in the Commonwealth and Asian Games that are scheduled for later this year," she said.
Sania's mother, Nasima said, "Marriages are made in heaven."
Incidentally, Shoaib was earlier accused of marrying another Hyderabad girl, Ayesha Siddiqui, in 2002 over phone even though the cricketer said he was merely engaged to her.
