Sania Mirza, former tennis star and ex-wife of Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, is under fire for sharing social media posts perceived as endorsing the Indian military’s unprovoked actions against Pakistan. Her public support has triggered widespread criticism and disappointment, especially considering her personal ties to Pakistan through her son, Izhaan Mirza Malik, who is half Pakistani.
The controversy escalated after Sania appeared to align with Indian celebrities who were applauding the military strikes, which many believe contributed to civilian casualties. Her posts have been described as insensitive, given the rising human toll and the emotional weight of the situation.
Social media erupted with angry and emotional reactions. One user commented, “You are a mother yourself and you’re celebrating a child’s death,” highlighting the deep hurt caused by her stance. Others compared the reaction to other global conflicts, stating, “This is how Israel celebrates the deaths of innocent children.” Fans who once admired Sania for her achievements and advocacy for women are now questioning her compassion and values.
