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."
