Hyderabad:
The Pakistani cricketer has reportedly agreed to his Hyderabadi bride's wish to settle in Hyderabad. A close friend of Sania's said that the Indian tennis sensation has convinced Shoaib to set up home in Hyderabad after their marriage.
Shoaib is understood to be open to the idea of settling in Hyderabad to make his bride happy. He was thinking of settling in Dubai, but is believed to the wary of the idea because of the hold of the underworld on the city. Sania, on the other hand, does not appear to be terribly keen on shifting to Pakistan.
"Sania, as I know her, is a complete Hyderabadi. She is so used to this city that Dubai is definitely not her choice for setting up home. She discussed this issue with Shoaib and he is more than happy to settle in India," said a classmate of Sania. However, Shoaib might not shift immediately.
"He likes to play for Pakistan and it will be sometime before he hangs his boots. He plans to have two houses. One in India and the other in Pakistan. It is not clear how the underworld will react to his plan of shifting to India, but Shoaib thinks it should help keep them off their radar," said the source.
"He will be shuttling between the two countries with his wife in Hyderabad. Shoaib has not discussed his plans with his family yet, but expects them to respond positively," the source added.
Shoaib's passport continues to be in the court's possession. It was seized after his first wife Ayesha Siddiqui lodged complaints against him at the Banjara Hills police station last week. He expects the passport to be handed over soon because of the reception in Lahore later this month.
The source also revealed that Sania shared her plans to set up her marital home in Hyderabad to some close friends at a party in Hotel Taj Krishna in Hyderabad that followed her wedding on Monday.
Sania's close friend Anil Yaday, said, "If she settles in Hyderabad, it will make us really happy. However, Sania will definitely miss Hyderabad if she moves out and we will miss her."
