Hyderabad: Tennis star Sania Mirza’s sister Anam Mirza is set to tie the knot with former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin’s son Mohammad Asaduddin in December this year.
###
Sania Mirza has confirmed that her younger sister will be marrying Asaduddin. The Mirzas recently returned from Paris after a bachelorette trip.
######
The confirmation came after months of speculation about Anam and Asad. They had shared pictures taken together on social media.
######
Sania, who is married to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, had also shared a picture with Asad on Instagram with the caption ‘family’.
###
Asad too had shared an image on Instagram wherein he was seen posing with Sania and Anam. “In between two gorgeous women” was how the young cricketer captioned the image.
###
Last month, Anam had also shared her picture in which she is seen sitting in front of a giant ‘Bride to be’ banner made of balloons.
###
This will be the second marriage for Anam Mirza, who separated from her husband Akbar Rasheed last year.
###
Anam had married Akbar, a businessman on November 18, 2016. The wedding was a star-studded ceremony, attended by celebrities like Salman Khan, Parineeti Chopra, Farah Khan, Huma Qureshi, Lara Dutta and others.
###
However, the marriage ended in a bitter divorce.
###
Anam is a curator of fashion and stylist. She runs ‘The Label Bazaar’ for which Sania is the brand ambassador.
###
Asad on his Facebook page calls himself a cricketer and lawyer. His father Azharuddin was recently elected president of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) to begin a new innings as a cricket administrator nearly two decades after he was banned for life for his alleged involvement in match-fixing.
###
In 2012, the Andhra Pradesh High Court revoked the ban on Azharuddin, one of the most successful captains in India’s cricketing history.
