In a recent interview with a media portal, Sania was asked about that one quality that she would want her child to imbibe. She stated, “The fact that the onus lies on him/her. We make our mistakes and we learn, but we should never have to give up on our freedom of choice. I don’t want my child to grow up and pass the buck saying he/she is in tough spot because he/she didn’t make the decision. That is a complete no-no.”

On being questioned if she can manage her work and personal life after having a child, Sania was quoted as saying, “I have not followed the ‘traditional women route’ in my life. I have always been the odd one out and I am glad that I was one. My parents have always supported all my decisions — so whether I was playing tennis in Hyderabad at a time when nobody dreamed of playing tennis or winning Wimbledon or marrying the person that I loved or having a child after eight years of our marriage — I have always lived life on my own terms.”

Sania further added, “I wanted to have a family only when I was ready. I find pregnancy empowering because what we are doing and creating as women, nobody in this world can do. When I look at myself, I feel that pregnancy should in no way hold you back. It’s unfair to look at pregnancy as a drawback for your career or your life. My life has to still keep moving forward because that is the way... Obviously parenting is important. My parents have been extremely personal in their parenting towards us. But that didn’t mean we didn’t have people who took care of us when they needed to go to work. We, as progressive women have to move forward in life and that’s the only way to be. One of my biggest examples I would like to set for my child is that pregnancy or motherhood or parenthood should not be something that holds you back from your dreams.” (Also Read: When Shirish Kunder Suggested A Name For Sania Mirza And Shoaib Malik's Baby)

Sania went on to say, “I want my child to be self-confident, self-sufficient and independent. While my child will be my number one priority, that does not mean I have to spend every single minute of the day with them to make them a good person or to parent them.” She also revealed if she has any morning sickness, “Surprisingly, I feel good. I have not had any morning sickness and it has been a dream pregnancy so far. As a woman, being a mother is something that we all look forward to in our lives, regardless of whether you are a tennis player or not. It’s a new beginning.”

About having pregnancy cravings, Sania continued to say, “I have gone off sweets like chocolates and that’s good because I would have put on more weight otherwise. But what I crave a lot is spicy food. I am loving those sour ‘chatpatta’ [snacks] stuff like bhel puri. I have gone off red meat too. I am working with a dietician to try to control my weight. I need to get back to playing as soon as possible and therefore I would like to control it [the weight gain].”

She also opened about raising a child from a cross-cultural relationship, “I don’t think that it matters which country they belong to or what colour or what religion they belong to. They need to understand that we are all human beings. Being a good person is much higher than anything else in the world.” Speaking of her parenting style, she shared, “We just want to go with the flow. The one thing we are certain of is that perfect parenting is a myth. And we are in no competition. We will raise our kid that way we feel is right, not because someone or some book says so.”

When asked what kind of a father will Shoaib be, strict or lenient? And what about her as a mother, Sania was quoted as saying, “Shoaib is going to be the lenient one because he has much more patience, and I have seen that to be a good parent you have to be very patient. I am a lot less patient. Shoaib is more paternal than I am maternal. He is also very discplined and organised, which is how I want my kid to be. As for me, I have a very strong sense of what is right and wrong. I will be a cool mom as long as we are headed on the right path.” (Also Read: Mom-To-Be Sania Mirza Working Out With Her Cute Baby Bump, 'Massi-To-Be' Anam Shares Pics)
