I doubt the same salman would have take stand if it is not case of his movie promotion ,and the same salman khan promote modi by forgetting what ideology they represent . he is expert in promotion .Can he also say something like this on shivsena 😆 . I appreciate how sania mirza stand for herself instead relying on any fake dabaang.
Sania Mirza's Press Statement On BJP's Comments & Controversy
It hurts me that so much precious time of prominent politicians and the media is being wasted on a petty issue of my being appointed the Brand Ambassador of my State of Telangana. I sincerely believe that this precious time should be spent on solving the more urgent issues of our State and country.
I would like to state as follows:
1. I am married to Mr. Shoaib Malik, who is from Pakistan. I am an Indian, who will remain an Indian until the end of my life.
2. I was born in Mumbai as my mother needed to be at a specialist hospital since she was seriously unwell at the time of my birth. I came home to Hyderabad when I was 3 weeks old. My forefathers have lived in Hyderabad for more than a century. My grandfather, Mr. Mohammed Zaffer Mirza started his career as an Engineer in Nizam's Railways in Hyderabad in 1948 and died in his ancestral home in Hyderabad.
My great grandfather, Mr. Mohd. Ahmed Mirza was also born and raised in Hyderabad. He was the Chief Engineer, Water Works, Hyderabad and was responsible for constructing the famous Gandipet dam.
My great, great grandfather, Mr. Aziz Mirza was the Home Secretary under the Nizam in Hyderabad and worked tirelessly for relief works during the historic Musi River floods of 1908.
So, my family belongs to Hyderabad for more than a century and I strongly condemn any attempts by any person, whosoever, to brand me an outsider.
I hope this clears all doubts and issues.
Also the tennis star seemed to have prayers on her lips instead of barbs and vitriol she has been facing from all corners. Mirza, who married Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik in 2010 and lives abroad but plays for India, tweeted hours ago, "I pray for people who cannot be happy for others and who cannot let go of the pain and hatred inside them..May Allah bless u all."
In her defence, Sania has said no one is perfect and has cautioned people against hate-mongering. "And much much more love..nobody in this world is perfect and never will be..but judging people and hating is the worst thing in the world," Sania has tweeted, possibly referring to the controversy surrounding her appointment as Tellangana envoy.
