New Delhi: India's tennis player Sania Mirza, while speaking at the World Economic Forum, has revealed many interesting things related to herself. She said that as a child she was asked to quit tennis. According to Sania Mirza, "I was once told that I should stop playing tennis or else my colour would turn black and no one would marry me". Sania Mirza, who won three doubles and three mixed doubles Grand Slam titles, mentioned in her address what challenges she faced during her career.

She said, 'I don't need to tell you how parents, neighbours, uncles and aunts never forget to tell you that if you go out and play in the sun, then your colour will turn black and no one will marry you. I was only eight years old when I started being told the same. Everyone seemed to think that no one would marry me because my complexion would turn black and I used to think in my mind that I am still a child and everything will be alright". 32-year-old Sania said that "I think this culture is very difficult as to why a girl should be beautiful, especially blonde. I do not know why". We have to change this trend. She said that she grew up admiring PT Usha.
