Former Indian tennis star and ex-wife of cricketer Shoaib Malik, Sania Mirza, shared photos from her son Izhaan’s 6th birthday celebration.
On Wednesday night, the star athlete took to her Instagram to give her 13 million followers a glimpse into the intimate birthday festivities for her son, Izhaan Mirza Malik, also known as IMM.
“My baby boy, I can’t believe you are 6. You are the reason for my smile. Happy birthday, laddu,” Mirza captioned a heartwarming photo of herself holding her grown son. One of the images features the birthday boy with his football-themed cake, which included a figure of his favorite player, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The now-viral post received an outpouring of love from her thousands of followers, including celebrities, who not only liked the images but also left heartfelt birthday wishes for the young star in the comments.
It’s worth noting that Sania Mirza was married to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik since 2010, and they share one son, Izhaan. Following Malik’s announcement of his third marriage to actress Sana Javed in January, the Mirza family confirmed that Sania had sought separation from her ex-husband through khula (the right of a Muslim woman to divorce her husband).
