Successful cross- border love stories transform into sagas. They are etched on to people’s memories for eternity. When love transcends the most riotous borders to blossom and flourish, it becomes a miracle in itself. With undeterred courage and unconditional love, these stories can come out of fiction even in the terror infested world. Helping cement cross border ties, these love stories will be a boon to wed two cultures mindsets and two nationalities.

I am completely in favour of the perceived messy union. I am happy for both of them and maybe, they would set a towering example of how initiatives like Aman Ki Asha need not be made fun of, for their sheer optimism. And regarding Sania representing Pakistan in tennis, I will be more than glad that the baton of incessant obsession with Sania’s nose ring, her wardrobe and her love handles is handed over to Pakistan’s paparazzi. Spare me the madness!

The twists and turns in the love story of Sania Mirza and her Pakistani beau Shoaib Malik has the potential of developing into a diplomatic row, considering the volatile relations between the two countries. It is not justified to comatose the respective governments into the feud.
A certain section of the Indian media is vehemently projecting Sania and Shoaib’s supposed marriage as the new horizon of peace and amity between the two neighbors. But cross border terrorism which has been pulverizing the prospects of harmony over the past many years cannot be mitigated by mere symbolisms like Sania-Shoaib marriage.

The proposed Sania –Shoaib marriage means different things to different people. A wild goose chase for the media! It’s Sania’s decision. All rights reserved with herself related to her marriage!
But, in domain of international relations, such episodes are only cosmetic engagements. Both states have wide discrepancies on various fronts. A cross-border tie won't simpilify the diplomatic tangle.

SHIPRA
Let's not expect that this marriage could improve our relations with Pakistan. Ofcourse, it will create a positive environment, atleast in the psyche of the people, but the lives of nations are far more complicated than the lives of the people.
Let Sania and Shoaib enjoy the lives of their own. Marriage is a personal choice. It's not a political issue. I don't understand what is anyone's problem.

Love transends boundaries. And boundaries defy (cross-border) love.Fortunate to be a citizen of a country where marrying a person groomed on enemy's field is never discouraged by its government!
