Indian girls “heart broken” over Sania marrying Pakistani boy

Girls in an eastern Indian state of Bihar are “heart broken” after the young tennis sensation Sania Mirza deciding to marry a Pakistani cricketer, instead of an Indian boy.

The Indian tennis star Sania is set to marry Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik on April 15, media reports have said.

Quite a number of girl students studying in Patna Women’s College, a prestigious academic institute located in the capital of Bihar, disapproved of this marriage saying India has more eligible bachelors than the neighbouring country.

“India has many eligible bachelors even from the cricketing arena who are much better than Shoaib. Why did she then choose someone from across the border?” asked Kumari Sonali, a science graduate from Patna Women’s College.

Irene Isabella, another girl from the same college, could not hide her anguish on her face and said, “The news of Sania’s marriage has come as a shocking surprise to me but who am I to comment on her decision?”.

Another girl Puja Pandey said, “Hardly much time has passed when we heard of her engagement and then break-up with her childhood friend Sohrab Mirza, and now she has left us speechless with the news of her “match-fixing” with Shoaib”.

Girls from other academic institutes located in and around Patna like JD Women’s College, Magadh Mahila College, Gaya College and other post-graduate centres also made similar comments.
