Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza revealed she has her sights set firmly set on the Australian Open in 2012 in a candid interview with theater personality Divya Palat.
The interactive session was organized under ‘Youth Connect Initiative’ the by Ladies Wing & Young Leaders’ Forum of Indian Merchants’ Chamber (IMC).
Sania was as strong and sharp in responding to the questions as she is on the tennis court. Besides, Divya, the other attendees included eminent women and personalities from the India Inc and young students at IMC Monday evening. She rather aced out the audience with her wit and bold answers.
“I am focusing on the Australian Open and preparing hard for it. There is a lot of time to go for the event and anything can happen in between,” Sania said while responding to her plans for 2012.
About the controversies surrounding her throughout the career, she said, “I never paid attention to the opinions of the people. They have opinions and I do have mine. I have never responded to the controversies on what I wear, whom I marry and what I talk about and hence, why should it matter?”
When Divya touched upon her much talked about marriage with former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, she said, “It’s about two people getting married, irrespective of the nationality. Why should nationality come in between? I was asked if this would improve the political relations between the two countries and I did not see any sense in such questions.”
Recalling an interesting incident during her wedding days, Sania said, “The media was camping outside my home and a chai-waala opened up his shop to cash in on the media frenzy. There have been good and bad experiences but because I have been seeing the media glamour from a very early age, I have grown up to accept it.”
