Sania, who had her first child with cricketer-husband, Shoaib Malik, had talked about how her journey of being back to the top won’t be an easy one. In an interview with PTI, she had said, “Well, I have been able to play these roles thick and fast. I have been a wife for a while. I have become a mother just now. I am trying to get back to the top level. I know, it is not going to be easy, but nothing is worth than doing it.” She further went on to say, “My realistic goal is to make a comeback to the sport. Probably by the end of this year it may happen. Earlier I had talked about my return by 2020. There was a reason for that I didn't want to put pressure on myself and still don't.”
In an interview with Femina, Sania talked about becoming a mother. She talked about her 9-months experience, and said, “The experience was good—it was overwhelming and different. I think, as women, we underestimate our bodies and what they can do, and I had that self-realisation. I feel privileged that I was able to go through it. I had a decently easy pregnancy, if there is such a thing.” (Also Read: Janhvi Kapoor Shared An Emotional Note For Her Late Mother Sridevi On Her First Death Anniversary)
In the same interview, she gave a strong message to the young girls and women to choose what is right for them. She had said, “The most important thing I would like to say to girls and women is that you have to choose what you feel is right. There are certain cultural dos and don’ts that we are subjected to as girls while growing up, and even as adults after we have grown up. There is no right or wrong from that perspective, you have to go by what you feel. You have to believe in your dreams and, more importantly, yourself. I was lucky to have a family that backed and supported me in every decision—whether it was playing tennis, getting married, or wanting to have a kid. It was always about when I wanted to do it, and not about what the cultural norm was. I want to tell women that if you really want to do something, and believe in it, then you can have it all; you don’t have to choose.”

In an interview with IANS, she had said, “It was just about time… I was down with my knee injury anyway and we had been thinking about it for a while… We thought it was a good time to start a family and experience this new phase of our lives.”
She further went on to say, “Pregnancy is not something that holds you back in any way. It’s very empowering and is something that is part of being a woman and it’s something I always looked forward to, having a family. I knew tennis is something that will take a backseat eventually.” Well, Sania is no less than a star in her real-life too!
