Media upset with Sania and Shoaib

There’s always new drama happening at the Mirza household ever since Sania announced her marriage plans with Shoaib. If not dealing with fatwas and police cases, the couple now have to deal with backlash from the media.

The boycott, finally
This was much awaited. On Tuesday evening, irritated by the insensitive behaviour of the Mirzas, the media present at Sania’s residence lost their cool. They had been waiting to capture snapshots of the newly-weds and record their statement, but the couple and family members simply chose to ignore the media. It took some photographers to compel the duo to wait for a picture, which they did for a few seconds.

Enraged by the “pricey” attitude, the contingent blasted Sania’s PR as she came out with a statement of the happenings of the day. By now, the media was simply not interested in knowing the affairs inside the house. It was more important for them to know what made the Mirzas and the Maliks act the way they did. One reporter blasted saying, “Even the most famous Bollywood couples oblige the media by posing for them after their wedding and giving a statement. What makes Sania-Shoaib run away?” The PR said, “We will keep you updated about everything,” but didn’t say if the couple would actually come out and speak.

Fuel to fire
What added fuel to fire were the packets of sweets handed over by the securitymen to the media. News channels began airing the drama immediately showing the treatment meted out to them. After refusing to eat the sweets, they sat in front of the gate. “We want the Mirzas to view our boycott through the CCTV they have installed to monitor our movements. Let them now see that we are least interested in them. They should understand that we have just been doing our job and they should have co-operated. Can’t the couple just come out and say a few words?” said an irritated reporter.

Least affected
The Mirzas, however, seemed least affected by all the hullabulloo outside. Around 9 pm, a group of singers and dancers were spotted coming out from the Mirzas’ abode with their dholkis. “We have been here since 1 in the afternoon. We were called to sing and dance and make the couple as well as the family dance to our tunes,” said Sahira, one of the members. “Sania mast naachti hain, humne Sania aur Shoaib, dono ko ek saath nachaya,” said Afisa, another member. And the songs they danced to? “Sania and Shoaib danced to Mehndi laga ke Rakhna and Kajra Mohabbat wala, and we got both families to the floor on Udi Jab Jab Zulfe Teri, Aei Meri Zohra Zabi.... Shoaib bhi achcha naach leta hain but Sania is better,” said Sultana, another group member. The group which sang songs from 1 - 9 pm was paid Rs 10,000.

Unsensational, really
Imran Mirza later came out and said, “There is nothing sensational happening inside. Mehndi is an all-ladies’ affair so all the women in the house are busy with the ceremony.”
