When we think of these two sporting celebrities, we think of them as a match made in heaven. The world's No 1 doubles tennis player, Sania Mirza from India, and robust Pakistani cricketer, Shoaib Malik have been married since 2010 and their love story has been no less than a Bollywood film.
For them, they were two individuals in love. However, people were not too keen on this marriage, due to the ongoing animosity between the two neighbouring countries, India and Pakistan.
With time, their love has triumphed and silenced all the critics who were out to malign them for their cross-border love story. They have proved that love has no borders.
Another cross-border love story is of Adnan Sami and the land of India. He's been residing in India for over a decade now and looks like he will finally be getting his Indian citizenship. It is said that he is likely to be granted “citizenship by naturalisation” in view of his “distinguished service to the cause of art.”
Whether it's for the love of their lives, or for the love of arts and culture, India surely seems to be a favourite among people from different nations. Surely, the homely feeling of India may have compelled many to kick back and settle into a more harmonious lifestyle without the hustle and tussle of a daily monotonous life.
