The tennis player also said that due to coronavirus crisis Mirza family won't meet anyone. "Due to the lockdown, we are not going to meet anyone. It will be just us at home and celebrations will be simple. Eid always starts with a prayer. Every year, we perform Eid ki namaz and have breakfast together after my dad returns from the mosque. But this year, he, too, will offer prayers at home. Eid is about togetherness, family and meeting loved ones who you may not meet that often. Lunch at my aunt's place is a tradition, but we won't be able to do any of that, this year," she said.
