Is Indian Tennis Star Sania Mirza Entering Politics for Upcoming Lok Sabha Elections?

Indian tennis star Sania Mirza is reportedly contemplating a shift from the tennis court to the political arena, with rumors swirling about her potential candidacy for the Hyderabad seat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

The speculations gained momentum after former Indian cricketer and Congress leader Mohammad Azharuddin, who is also Sania Mirza’s relative,  recommended her as a possible candidate.

Reports suggest that Sania’s name was mentioned during a recent meeting of the Congress Central Election Committee, where discussions about potential candidates for various constituencies took place. If the rumors are to be believed, Sania Mirza could emerge as a prominent face for the Congress party in Hyderabad, a stronghold of the All India Majlis Ittehad Muslimeen (AIMIM) led by Asaduddin Owaisi.

The prospect of Sania Mirza’s entry into politics has generated significant buzz, with many speculating about the potential implications for the electoral landscape in Hyderabad. The seat has historically been dominated by Owaisi’s party, with the Congress facing an uphill battle to secure a victory since 1980.

Sania Mirza’s rumored candidacy has sparked discussions about her credentials and the impact she could have on the political landscape. As a renowned athlete with a global profile, Mirza brings with her a significant fan following and the potential to attract attention to the Congress party’s campaign in Hyderabad.

However, it remains to be seen whether Sania Mirza will indeed take the plunge into politics and contest the upcoming elections. The tennis star has not made any official statements regarding her potential candidacy, leaving room for speculation and anticipation among her supporters and political observers alike.
