Sania Mirza, the famous tennis star, is rumored to be considering entering politics with the Congress party. There are talks that she may run in the upcoming Lok Sabha election from the Hyderabad constituency.
The Congress party is looking for a strong candidate to challenge AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi in Hyderabad. They have reportedly discussed the possibility with Sania Mirza, although there has been no official statement from her or her family.
The Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat has been held by Asaduddin Owaisi since 2004, and the Congress party believes that fielding Sania Mirza could capitalize on anti-incumbency sentiments and pose a challenge.
The BJP has already named Madhavi Latha as their candidate for the seat, who is popular in the Yakutpura area of Hyderabad, including among the Muslim community.
Sania Mirza’s connection to former Team India captain and Congress leader Mohammad Azharuddin through her sister’s marriage has raised speculations about her potential candidacy. Azharuddin has reportedly mentioned her name to Congress leaders in the context of the Lok Sabha elections.
While there is social media buzz about Sania Mirza’s possible political debut, no official announcement has been made by her family. Recently, it was announced that Sania Mirza has divorced her husband Shoaib Malik, and she is now focusing on her son and tennis academy.
