We had heard of this incident, when Sania had come on the sets of Shahid’s film with Vishal Bharadwaj and was filming the actor in every shot he gave to the camera. And then out of the blue when we were expecting a happy announcement we heard a rumour, which passed the final decree that, the Shaahid-Sania relationship had been terminated.
It was a tough piece of news to digest and one could not help but feel sorry for Shahid who had used the Sania relationship as an adhesive to glue his broken heart after his split with Kareena if we can gloss over the Vidya Balan incident as a fling. All in all Shaahid was basking in his new found love and his recent success of ‘Jab We Met’.
The co-incidence was that Shaahid while getting over Kareena had made a trip to Bangalore to be with friends who introduced him to Sania who is a staunch Hindi film buff. For Shahid who went out with her a couple of times after that, she was a perfect fill in the romantic void, which Kareena had left him with.
A person who had been with the star said that from the point of the beginning of this relationship Shahid was very aware of the fact that he had to better his earlier conquest. After all it might sound shallow but it was Bebo who had chosen to move on with Saif. So it was left to Shaahid to procure a trophy girlfriend to regain his stature.
Fact remains that Sania was every inch a trophy girlfriend. A tennis sensation, the girl was an inspiration to several sports kids and adults as someone who had broken ground in a sport that was not cricket. Besides her glamour quotient was high enough whether it was the nose ring or the glasses that were fashion statements.
Sania was wowing the generation next and while all had a keen eye to know who her love interest would be, they certainly did not imagine that the chocolate boy next door Shahid would fit a perfect size into those shoes. It is common knowledge that Shahid who had earlier thrown caution to the winds in his previous relationship wanted to do the same this time but the tennis sensation was totally against it and it was her propitiatory attitude that caused him to maintain his “I don’t want to speak about my personal life,” stance.
On his part the actor decided to give this relationship his best shot. The fact that he was extra choosy about his work gave him enough free time to pursue the tennis star. But she was quite clear that she did not want him to be seen at matches, as that would really set tongues wagging.“Maybe it was the way his last relationship had ended or simply the trauma of losing out on his achievement in his personal life that made Shahid infringe on Sania’s privacy a bit too much,” revealed his close associate.
But Shahid kept barraging the lady with innumerable phone calls and queries of her whereabouts. And he would be angered if she was out of bounds. Thus began the first rumblings and squabble in what so far seemed to be a perfect relationship.
“On his part Shaahid was justified; he had clearly indicated to all that he was off the dating block and was in a serious relationship once again,” averred our informer. Even Vidya Balan was bid a categorical good bye. Shahid’s point being that he was going out of his way to spell out the status but somehow Sania was not giving the same no holds barred response. Which led him to question whether she was feeling the same emotion that he did.
Sania had always assured him of the same feelings but she perhaps could not put herself out there because it would mean saying goodbye to her career, which she had built with great perseverance. Shahid of course was to wait at least a year before he settled down. Then out of the blue when her Olympics dream ended, Ms. Mirza decided to give her relationship all it took. And she came down to Mumbai to spend time with her beau. Shahid was ecstatic and made huge plans with Sania. Nothing was to disturb the lovers till Sania’s next tennis match was right round the corner.
Well Shahid is not a player. He is a one-woman man. So he was going ahead and planning to shift houses and even looking at pads closer to where Sania could train. But in the next match Sania did better and once again her dream seemed within her grasp. Love could wait, as it was not on top of her list of priorities.
“Yet again Shahid was informed about the split on the telephone,” informs the source. Needless to say, the guy did not deserve this fate despite his best intentions. Well all said and done, he was not going to give up this relationship without a fight.
He organised for his next shoot to be in Hyderabad for a long time. It was coincidently Sania’s home. Producer Vishal Bharadwaj complied and organised the shoot in Hyderabad. It is believed that Sania refused to relent to Shahid’s pleadings and her parents stepped in to finally tell the actor to lay off. Shahid returned to shoot in Chandigarh post this with a very heavy heart.
Perhaps some things are just not meant to be. Maybe the relationship of his past was casting its shadow and making him more clinging but it is bad experience that determines a person’s actions and how can you call it love if your partner cannot understand your basic need to want to be a part of her life whether it is mundane or out of this world.
Togetherness is perhaps a feeling that facilitates that your life does not go unnoticed but what happens when you are a celebrity who is noticed all the time. Then perhaps the concept of space comes in. Space that can be defined as the room you give your partner or simply the distance between the individuals.
