    “If Shah Rukh Khan plays my love interest in my biopic, I’ll do it myself,” reveals Sania Mirza on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show

    Mumbai: After watching the reel sports Jodi – Mr & Mrs. Mahi hit it out of the park in the last episode, this week on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show, the audience can look forward to some real shots served by the proud medalists of our country – Mary Kom, Saina Nehwal, Sift Kaur Samra, and Sania Mirza. The 11th episode of the season promises to be filled with absolute candidness and some well-served hilarious moments from the guests. Being as witty as she is, Sania Mirza spills the beans on her biopic, revealing who she thinks could portray the role of her love interest and her.

    Asking Sania about her choice, Kapil Sharma questioned, “In the biopic on Mary Kom, Priyanka Chopra portrayed her role. Parineeti Chopra portrayed Saina’s role in her biopic. Sania, if someone makes your biopic, who do you think can do justice to your role?”

    Being in her natural element, Mirza replied, “Do they have any other sister? I think we have many good actresses in our country. Anyone is fine. Or shall I do it on my own?”

    Sharing an old incident, Sharma reacted, “Shall I tell you something? I am sure you know about it. In an interview, Mr. Shah Rukh Khan said if a biopic on Sania Mirza is made, I would like to play her love interest. Will you allow any other actress to play it or will you take up the role?”

    Jumping on the occasion, Mirza said, “Now, I have to find a love interest first. But if Mr. Shah Rukh Khan plays the role, I will take it up, and if Akshay Kumar plays the role, I will not miss it.”
