'Sania is no poster girl'

Upset with her marriage to a Pakistani, employees of petrol pumps of company endorsed by Tennis star, remove her posters

Employees of petrol pumps of a company endorsed by Sania Mirza are so upset by her marriage to Shoaib Malik, that they have taken to removing her posters from their petrol pumps.

"We have removed Sania's face from all the posters displayed here as we don't like her marrying a Pakistani cricketer," said an employee at the company's petrol pump at the Bangalore International Airport road.

"We were Sania's fans earlier. That is not the case anymore. How can any Indian marry a Pakistani?" asked an attendant at another petrol pump.






"This is just being done to be on the safer side. How do we handle if some miscreants decide to pelt stones at us. The is nothing we can do in such a situation.

We hope removing the posters makes it safe for us. We don't want to invite any trouble," said the businessman.

He added, "Few of our regular customers took strong objection to her posters and advised us to have them removed."
