The subcontinent’s power couple, the dynamic duo of Pakistan’s Shoaib Malik and India’s Sania Mirza have given yet another great news to their fans and followers. Malik, a star cricketer and Mirza a tennis ace, have been married for almost 9 years.
On Tuesday, Shoaib Malik had on announced on Twitter, “Excited to announce: It’s a boy, and my girl is doing great and keeping strong as usual #Alhumdulilah. Thank you for the wishes and Duas, we are humbled #BabyMirzaMalik.” Sania Mirza, a leading tennis player delivered Izhaan Mirza Malik in Rainbow Hospital Hyderabad, India.
According to Dunya News, sources of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) have proclaimed the son of Shoaib Malik will not get Pakistani Nationality. Pakistan can only grant dual nationality to citizens of 19 countries in which India is not included. This would definitely wreak havoc on the shoulders of Shoaib Malik, the leading star of Pakistani cricket.

Although India and Pakistan share the same cultural traits, the animosity between the two are not only affecting politics and economy of the region but individuals too. The whole world greeted the couple and felicitated them wholeheartedly. The sad part is that the Hero of Pakistan, Shoaib Malik’s son would not be called Pakistani.
Another debate on social media currently suggests that Pakistanis are disappointed with the fact that if Shoaib Malik’s son decides to become a professional cricketer like his father; he would not be playing for Pakistan but for their arch-rivals India. Instead of wearing a Green Shirt, little Izhaan Malik will show his feats in All Blue.
Not just fans and followers, but celebrities too have been storming social media with blessings for Shoaib and Sania’s son – Izhaan.
This is how the celebs on the internet reacted to Izhaan’s birth
Shahid Afridi gave his blessings to the newborn

With all said and done, it is for a fact that the couple’s beautiful child has caught all the attention, especially in India. The last child to get so much coverage was Saif and Kareena’s son, Taimoor Khan.
