"@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.
