Nothing official yet: Sania Mirza on biopic
New Delhi May 21 (IANS) Tennis ace Sania Mirza says nothing has been finalised yet about a biopic on her life.
There have been talks about a film being made on her life and there was also buzz that Rohit Shetty would be helming the project.
Asked about it Sania told IANS over phone: "No not yet... There s obviously been a lot of talk going on and in pipeline. But there s nothing official yet."
Sania who is married to cricketer Shoaib Malik is currently expecting their first child. They have decided to give the child the surname Mirza-Malik an amalgamation of their own last names.
Explaining the decision Sania said: "That is something that has come from being a woman and being in a position that I have been in all my life... Coming from a culture where a lot of people unfortunately feel that having a boy will take the family and its name forward and will be the chirag of the family.
"I come from a family of two girls and we never felt the need to ever have a brother and we were never treated differently. That s the kind of thought process that really is in that. It s a pretty simple thing. At the end of the day my husband is obviously someone who thinks that way as well. And it takes a very secure and a strong man to say I want my wife s name along with mine. So I think that s really what it was.
"Mirza-Malik is something that we always wanted. Even when we were not planning a baby many years ago... We used to talk about it that one day we would name the baby Mirza-Malik... We are looking forward to it and regardless of whether it s a boy or a girl we are really proud to go with both our names."
