I am a girl first, then a sportswoman: Sania Mirza

Mumbai: Few sportspersons are associated with glamour and fashion but tennis star Sania Mirza, who walked the ramp at the India International Jewellery Week (IIJW), contends she has the same wishes and desires as a normal girl, despite being in a challenging sport.


"I am a sportsperson but I'm a girl first. And that's why I'm fond of jewellery just like any other girl. Being a sportsperson doesn't mean that I don't have desires and wishes that other women have," she said on the show's opening day in Monday.
