In fact Farah Khan, who happens to be one of Sania's closest friends, was among the first ones to break the news. Mentioning how she is now a 'khaala', Farah congratulated the couple and the families for the birth of a baby boy.

After confirming her pregnancy news in April this year, the 32-year-old Indian player had shared several pictures of herself with the family over the past few months. Meanwhile, rumours were also rife recently that Sania has already given birth to a baby boy but Shoaib refuted all rumours that they will make "a proper announcement when the kid decides to arrive."

Sania, who got married to Shoaib in 2010, is looking to be back on the court for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. For now, we congratulate the new parents.
