Shoaib also shared the same picture incubating that the couple will soon embrace parenthood. Sania’s father Imran Mirza also confirmed the news to PTI and said, “Yes, it's true.”No sooner Sania posted the picture, congratulatory messages started pouring in for the couple. Interestingly, last month Sania at the Goa Fest 2018, she expressed her desire to take her family name, Mirza forward. She further added that Shoaib wants a daughter. "Today I will tell you a secret. My husband and I have spoken about it and we have decided that whenever we have a child, the child will have Mirza Malik as a surname and not just Malik. So that's where we stand as a family including my husband. He actually wants a daughter," Sania said.
