Tennis star Sania Mirza suffered a panic attack following her divorce from Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, according to her close friend and filmmaker Farah Khan. In a recent interview, Farah revealed the emotional toll the separation took on Sania, describing a moment when the athlete had to be rushed to the hospital due to a severe panic attack.
Farah explained that Sania was under immense emotional stress but tried to remain strong for her family and public image. “She’s one of the strongest women I know, but even the strongest break,” Farah said, highlighting the hidden struggles public figures often face behind the scenes.
The divorce, which became public earlier this year, ended the high-profile marriage that had attracted media attention since the couple tied the knot in 2010. While Sania has not publicly commented in detail about the split, Farah’s revelation sheds light on the mental health challenges she endured during the process.
Supporters and fans have expressed concern and extended their solidarity with Sania, praising her resilience. Mental health advocates have also used the opportunity to call for more open conversations around emotional well-being, especially for public figures dealing with personal crises under media glare.
