‘Sohrab Mirza wants to move on’

Though it may sound bizarre, Sohrab Mirza’s dad Adil Mirza says he is willing to attend Sania Mirza’s wedding.

However, he adds, “Sohrab won’t be able to attend as he is in London (studying Business Management at University of Warwick).” Adil says Sohrab doesn’t intend to come to India now and has told his dad that he ‘will be immersing himself in studies’.

“I have already wished Imran (Mirza, Sania’s dad). But as of now I have neither got an invitation from him nor have I been informed about the dates of her wedding. But if I am invited, I intend to go there as a guest and offer my blessings. A broken engagement cannot be the reason for two family friends to fight and bicker. We will move on as if nothing happened between us (the two families),” says Adil.

On being asked how Sohrab is coping up with the news of Sania’s marriage, Adil says Sohrab has told him that he intends to ‘move on’. In fact, Sohrab didn’t break down when he heard the news. “He sounded cool about it and we didn’t want to discuss about it in detail. I am sure he is feeling horrible but he knows that such is life. My son is a brave boy. He is aware that he has to move on in life and not get stuck with this,” says Adil on the phone from Hyderabad.

He ends saying, “Sohrab turns 25 this year and we shouldn’t push him into anything. He talks less but he does exactly what he wishes to do. He wants to join Harvard Business School and I think he has taken a good decision. Though I have my business here, I want my son to stay there (in London) and study. He too wants that.”
