'It is weird' - Mohammed Shami on marriage rumours involving Sania Mirza

Indian star pacer Mohammed Shami addressed the rumors linking him romantically to tennis ace Sania Mirza. The fast bowler's stern response to these speculations has sparked attention in the sports and entertainment circles.

Following Mirza's divorce from Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, social media was buzzing with manipulated images and baseless claims suggesting a potential marriage between Shami and Mirza. These rumors gained traction despite the lack of credible sources or official statements from either party.

Speaking to Shubhankar Mishra on YouTube, Shami expressed his frustration with the situation, describing it as weird and purposely done for some lame fun. The pacer didn't mince words as he challenged those spreading the rumors.

"It is weird and done purposely for some lame fun. But what can be done? If I open my phone then I could see those memes. But I would only like to say I think that memes are made for fun, but if they are related to someone's life, then you must think about it and then share such things. These people share from unverified pages and get away by saying anything and everything," Shami said.

The right-arm speedster emphasised the potential harm caused by such irresponsible social media behavior. Shami advised his detractors to focus on personal growth and achievement rather than engaging in baseless gossip.

"But I would like to say one thing - if you have the guts to say all these things from a verified page, then I will reply. Try achieving success, help people and upgrade yourself then I will believe that you are a good person," Shami added.
