Stop Haunting Sania
(Sent to the Times of India)
With reference to Sania Mirza’s decision to pull out from the Bangalore Open, I think it is now time to stop tormenting her. Be it the case of her candid remarks on virginity or her alleged insult to the flag, controversy has become her middle name. She falls prey to some fundamentalists day in and day out. The tennis sensation, however, should get attuned to all slanders and impediments on her way to triumph. She must realize that success and controversy, in each arena, always go hand in hand.
By turning Asia’s top tennis player, Sania has proved her mettle. Amidst the clarion calls of ‘Chak De India’, protest again Sania sound jarring. Cynics are kindly requested to spare this Hyderabadi achiever for her natural course of action.
