Back off: Sania Mirza

The India-Pakistan match is over, but Sania bashing continues. Our tennis player is facing the brunt of nasty comments from Pakistani trolls.

The Indo-Pakistan cricket match may be over but ace tennis player Sania Mirza seems to be the latest target of Pakistani trolls. If yesterday’s Twitter battle was over Sania and Shoaib having dinner with their baby and a few friends prior to the match, today’s war of words is between actor Veena Malik and Sania over the latter taking her baby along for dinner at a place where others were smoking sheesha. Actor Veena Mallik first tweeted, “Sania, I am actually so worried for the kid. You guys took him to a sheesha place isn’t it Hazardious? Also as far as I know Archie’s is all about junk food which isn’t good for athletes/boys. You must know well as you are mother and athlete yourself (sic)?”

To which Sania rightly responded, “Veena, I hav not taken my kid to a sheesha place. Not that it’s any of your or the rest of the world’s business cause I think I care bout my son a lot more than anyone else does :) secondly I am not Pakistan cricket team’s dietician nor am I their mother or principal or teacher (sic).”

The war of words soon escalated, with Sania hitting out at Veena in a tweet which she later deleted. Interestingly, Sania did get support from some quarters where one said, “Spot on! Sania came back to tennis circuit within months of her pregnancy so she knows how to take care of her fitness. It was up to the Pakistan players to take care of theirs which they didn’t. End the hate on@MirzaSania She is the least of @TheRealPCB performance problems.”
