keywords: 

{'french open mixed doubles title': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'first grand slam title': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'sania mirza': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'mahesh bhupathi': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

Option 1 states that Mahesh Bhupathi and Sania Mirza won the French Open Mixed Doubles Title in the year 2012. This statement is correct, as Mahesh Bhupathi and Sania Mirza did win the French Open Mixed Doubles Title in that particular year.

Option 2 states that this is their first Grand Slam Title together. However, this statement is incorrect. Mahesh Bhupathi and Sania Mirza had previously won a Grand Slam Title together. They won the Australian Open Mixed Doubles Title in 2009, which was their first Grand Slam Title as a team.

Therefore, only statement 1 is correct, and statement 2 is incorrect. The correct answer is option 1 - 1 only.

Alert - correct answer should be option 4 - Neither 1 nor 2.
