Sania Mirza’s Close Friendship with Farah Khan: A Bond Beyond Sports

Sania Mirza, the former Indian tennis star, has been in the news following her divorce from Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik earlier in 2024. Post-divorce, her name has been linked with various personalities, including Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami. However, recent insights reveal who Sania turns to as her closest confidante.

It is notable that Sania Mirza shares a profound friendship with renowned Bollywood director Farah Khan. This bond was highlighted when Farah Khan wrote a heartfelt message for Sania on her previous birthday. The message read, “Happy Birthday my dear Sania Mirza, may you always be surrounded by happiness, friends, and all those who love you… because you truly deserve it and more,” followed by a heart emoji.

Sania Mirza and Farah Khan have been seen together on various television shows, including ‘Koffee with Karan‘ and ‘The Kapil Sharma Show‘ in 2016. Their friendship is often described as strong and special.

In an interview in 2017, Farah Khan explained how their friendship developed. She mentioned that she initially wanted Sania as a guest on one of her shows, but due to scheduling conflicts, it could not happen at that time. When Sania returned to India, she visited Farah for coffee, and during their conversation, they instantly connected. Despite coming from different professional backgrounds, their conversations transcended boundaries, growing into a strong friendship.
