Mumbai, April 02: Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray today flayed tennis star Sania Mirza for her decision to marry Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, saying “had Sania’s heart been Indian, it wouldn’t have beaten for a Pakistani.”
“Henceforth, Sania will not remain an Indian. Had her heart been Indian, it wouldn’t have beaten for a Pakistani. If she wished to play for India, she should have chosen an Indian life partner,” 84-year-old Thackeray said in an editorial in party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’.
“More than victories on tennis court, Sania became famous for her tight clothes, fashion and love affairs,” Thackeray alleged.
“More than her play, people’s attention was on her mannerisms,” he claimed.
The Shiv Sena supremo alleged that “for Shoaib, India is an enemy, not only in sports arena but also in the battlefield.
