ISLAMABAD (PEN) : Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza, celebrated for her six Grand Slam titles, has always been admired for her athletic brilliance. While many of her fans have long dreamed of seeing her in the film industry, it looks like that wish could soon come true—though not with Sania herself, but with her son, Izhaan Mirza Malik!
And guess who’s promised to launch him in Bollywood? None other than his khala (aunt), the renowned filmmaker Farah Khan!
In a recent episode of her YouTube vlog, Farah sat down with her best friend Sania and little Izhaan for a fun chat. During their conversation, Sania shared a heartwarming story: Farah had signed her son for a movie the very day he was born, even giving him a signing amount of Rs 10. Farah, laughing, jokingly corrected her, saying, “I must have given him at least Rs 100!”
The vlog captured Izhaan’s playful side as he chewed gum and jokingly threatened to stick it to Farah’s sofa. Farah, amused by his antics, responded, “Don’t forget, I will be launching you. Tu mera hero!” (You’re my hero!) Sania added with a smile, “Not many of you know this, but when Farah first came to see him, she gave him Rs 10 and said, ‘I’m going to launch you.'”
Farah Khan and Sania Mirza share a deep friendship that has spanned years, with the two often spending quality time together. Their bond was also evident when they teamed up to cook Hyderabadi Chicken 65 on Farah’s vlog, offering a glimpse into their joyful camaraderie.
