In an open letter and an online petition to Sania Mirza published on http://ghotala.wordpress.com and released to the media on Monday morning, Mumbai-based actresses Neelakshi Singh, Anaya Das and about 100-odd youth have urged Sania Mirza not to marry Shoaib Malik in the light of the serious criminal allegations made against him by his alleged wife Ayesha.
Neelakshi and Anaya have urged the youth of India to leave their comments and feedback to their open letter which is reproduced below:
OPEN LETTER & ONLINE PETITION TO SANIA MIRZA FROM NEELAKSHI SINGH, ANAYA DAS & 100 OTHER SANIA MIRZA FANS
5th April, 2010
Dear Sania Mirza,
We Neelakshi Singh (26), Anaya Das (21) of Mumbai and about 100 other fans of Sania Mirza through this open letter urge you NOT to rush into marriage with Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik unless and until all the issues surrounding the controversy around Shoaib Malik’s alleged marriage to Ayesha (as reported by the Media) are sorted out, or until Shoaib Malik has a convincing and clear explanation to the entire issue.
Dear Sania, you are a role model for thousands of young girls and youth in India. Several hundred young, budding sportspersons in India look up to you for encouragement and support. In the light of the FIR registered against Shoaib Malik by the Hyderabad police on the complaint filed by the father of Ayesha, (a woman who has openly claimed that she was married to Shoaib Malik and was also pregnant during her marriage to Shoaib Malik), it is important for you to refrain from tying the knot in a hurry. While we understand that marriage is a personal issue for you, much is expected from you Sania Mirza by the youth of India. Given the fact that the aggrieved person in this matter is another young lady of almost your age from your own home town, you must make your position crystal clear on this issue.
We urge the youth of India to express their opinion by leaving their comments in the comments section. Please reply “YES” if you feel that Sania Mirza can go ahead with her marriage to Shoaib Malik or “NO” if you feel that she should wait till the issues are sorted out. Please feel free to specify why you think so.
Regards,

Neelakshi Singh, Anaya Das and 100 youth from different parts of the country
