India tennis star Sania Mirza tweeted a video of a nutrition brand which showed kids having a 'clearance sale' in which they are seen offering people their sporting gear, musical instruments among other items for free.

In the video, the kids send out a strong message of how their parents give importance to education more than other activities like sports and art which they want to take up as a career.

She wrote: "Reminded me of how blessed I am to have parents who didn't force studies and marks on me, and saw me for my passion and partnered me. I hope more parents out there take inspiration from this message. #lookbeyondmarks."
