Filmmaker Farah Khan, who is one of the few female directors who has broken the myth that a woman can't helm masala movies with hits like "Main Hoon Naa", "Om Shanti Om" and "Happy New Year", wished Sania in a filmy way.
"@MirzaSania: Number 5 in the world career best 'picture abhi baaki hain meri dost!'," she tweeted.
Actor Riteish Deshmukh also took to the micro-blogging site to wish his friend.
"Proud of u my friend @MirzaSania monster congratulations- world no. 5," he posted.
Sania, who is also the first Indian to break into the World Tennis Association's top 50 rankings, is UN Women's goodwill ambassador for South Asia.
