Away from the prying media eyes Indian tennis diva Sania Mirza today got engaged to childhood friend Sohrab Mirza at a plush city hotel. A glittery ceremony at Hotel Taj Krishna here was attended by a few special and close invitees, close to 300, including Indian tennis ace Mahesh Bhupathi, south movie star Chiranjeevi and some political personalities.
The 23-year-old Sohrab will pursue MBA in Britain and his father owns a chain of bakeries in the city. His family migrated from Iran many years ago and lives in Anand Nagar in the heart of the city.
Much to the disappointment of curious and byte crazy media army, posted outside the venue, not even a single peep into the ceremony was allowed by the Mirza family, which termed it a "family oriented" event. Anxiously waiting shutterbugs were also a dejected lot as they were not allowed to click photographs and were promised distribution of photographs through special arrangements.
Delhi based designers Nikhil and Shantanu had prepared Sania''s green and gold lehnga, a traditional dress, which the tennis sensation wore with old family jewellery. The engagement of the Indian tennis'' poster girl also put to rest all the speculation about her romantic links with sport stars and bollywood actors.
