Published

on

Indian Tennis star Sania Mirza Friday uploaded a tear-jerking “life update” on Instagram. The star who frequently updates her social media account in a bid to stay in touch with her fans has uploaded a post that has many in tears.

Taking to the popular photograph and video sharing platform. the 36-year-old expressed her feelings regarding her retirement in a long heartfelt note.

Earlier this month, Sania announced her retirement plans.

She had announced that she would call time on her career after next month’s Dubai Tennis Championships after her 2022.

In the note, she detailed her journey in tennis and thanked her family and fans for their support throughout her career, and said that she was set to start a new chapter of her life and devote more time to her son.

“Thirty years ago,” the Indian tennis star begins in her message, “a six-year-old girl from Nasr School in Hyderabad, walked onto a tennis court at Nizam Club with her young mom and fought the coach to let her learn how to play tennis as he thought that she was too little [to play tennis]”.

She then described how having started to practice at the tender age of six, she had “dared to dream” of representing her country in a Grand Slam someday.

The star wrote, “[looking back], not only did I get to play well over half a century of Grand Slam tournaments but I was fortunate enough to win a bunch of them, too, with God’s grace”.

Stating that she felt very emotional even as she wrote the message, Sania said winning medals for her country had been her “biggest honour” and was a humbling experience.

She then thanked her family and her fans, along with her entire team, for their constant and endless support, and wrote: “It’s all of you, who have helped me through the toughest phases of my life and helped this little girl from Hyderabad to not only dare to dream but to achieve those dreams, as well. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“[Tennis] is all I’ve known throughout my life,” the star wrote as she recounted the extent and expanse of her Tennis career.

“It’s been 20 years of being a professional athlete and 30 years of being a tennis player,” she stated.

Commenting on her decision to retire in 2023, Sania said: “My Grand Slam journey started with the Australian Open back in 2005. So, it goes without saying that this would be the most perfect Grand Slam to end my career with.”

The Australian Open this year is set to start on January 16. Sania played her first Grand Slam in the Australian open 18 years ago. After playing in this Grand Slam, she plans to play in the Dubai Open in February.

However, moved as she may feel, Sania wrote that her two most prominent feelings at the time of her retirement were “gratitude and pride”.

“I take pride in everything I have been able to achieve over the last 20 years of my professional career and I am so grateful for the memories that I have been able to create,” she said.

After the moving and emotional trip down memory lane, Sania concluded her message on a hopeful note, saying that she did not see the retirement as an “end”.

“In fact, [it is] a beginning of many different memories to be created, dreams to be achieved and new goals to be set. My son needs me more than ever now and I can’t wait to live a slightly quieter and calmer life while giving him more of my time than I have been able to give so far”.

With this heartfelt conclusion, the tennis star signed off, leaving her fans feeling very emotional, and comments flooded her post with fans wishing her well and sharing their thoughts on how she had been an inspiration in their lives.

It should be noted that Sania played her last match at Wimbledon in July 2022. At the time she had shared an emotional farewell to Wimbledon via Twitter. 

She was initially set to retire from professional Tennis last year after playing in the US Open. However, she had to pull back due to an injury and her plans were postponed to 2023.

By

‘Mirzapur’, the crime drama that has enthralled global audiences, has been officially renewed for a fourth season.

Prime Video and Excel Media and Entertainment have announced that they are currently in the process of developing the next installment of the series, following the immense success of Season 3. The recent launch of the ‘Mirzapur’ Season 3 bonus episode has generated significant anticipation and conjecture over future developments.

Confirmation has been received for the production of Mirzapur 4.

The announcement of the creation of Season 4 is expected, considering the highly positive reception of Season 3. Nikhil Madhok, the head of India Originals at Prime Video, highlighted the significant influence of the show by claiming that the third season of Mirzapur had surpassed all prior records, including those established by Season 2. This achievement underscores the profound bond that viewers feel with the characters in the show.

Ritesh Sidhwani, a producer at Excel Media and Entertainment, expressed his gratitude by echoing the notion that the response from the audiences has been remarkable. The love and support they received from the start has transformed Mirzapur into a worldwide sensation.

What is the release date for Mirzapur 4?

The precise release date for ‘Mirzapur’ Season 4 is currently unknown, but there is speculation that the new season might not be available until late 2025 or early 2026. The publication schedule for prior seasons has been somewhat erratic, with substantial intervals between them.

There was an almost four-year gap between the airing of Season 2 in October 2020 and the release of Season 3 in July 2024, much to the anticipation of fans. Based on this pattern, it is improbable that a release in 2025 will occur, although there is still a possibility that Karan Anshuman and Puneet Krishna, the developers, may astonish the audience.

Cast members that are coming back

Key characters integral to the ‘Mirzapur’ storyline will make a comeback, much to the anticipation of fans. Pankaj Tripathi will return to play the character of Kaleen Bhaiya, the powerful head of the criminal underworld in Mirzapur. Ali Fazal is set to reprise his role as Guddu Pandit, whose relentless pursuit of power and vengeance has been a central theme in the series. Additional members of the cast who are returning include:

  • Rasika Dugal portrays the character of Beena Tripathi. – Shweta Tripathi plays the role of Golu Gupta.
    Vijay Varma portrays the character of Shatrughan Tyagi.
    Isha Talwar portrays the character of Madhuri Yadav.

Anticipated Elements in ‘Mirzapur 4’

Although the particular storyline specifics for Season 4 of ‘Mirzapur’ are currently undisclosed, it is evident that the conflicts for power and the changes in alliances will continue to escalate. The remarkable survival of Guddu Pandit and the lasting influence of Kaleen Bhaiya indicate that their trajectories will intersect in novel and unforeseen manners.

The series is expected to further delve into the criminal underworld and intricate power dynamics in northern India, which have played a crucial role in its success.

The producers of the widely acclaimed crime series ‘Mirzapur 3’ recently unveiled a supplementary episode on August 30, following a two-month gap since the season’s first broadcast on Prime Video. The episode is advertised as a spectacular comeback of the character Munna Bhaiya, played by Divyendu Sharma. However, it actually consists of a compilation of scenes that were removed from the third season.

The bonus episode commences with Munna Tripathi acknowledging the fervent request from his fans for his reappearance. The departure I made created a significant commotion. I have been informed that our devoted supporters have much longed for my presence. I truly also missed all of you. “Loyalty is of utmost importance to me, and your steadfast support merits a reward,” he declares. Subsequently, he discloses that the episode included previously unreleased footage from ‘Mirzapur 3’.
