Once again, Sania Mirza hits the nail on the coffin.

Sania said the people felt pity for her family as she didn’t have a brother. However, Sania’s parents always supported Sania through thick and thin. Thus, she is an inspiration for all the girls who take up sports as their career.

“I come from a family of two girls and till today even after everything that I have achieved or try to achieve when people meet me, they ask, “Do you not have any brother?” and when I answer “No”, they say “oh” (are). And I am like, that’s fine, it’s absolutely okay because we never felt that need,” Sania said in a recently held programme.

Furthermore, Sania added that people who meet her, ask for a baby boy. Instead, in a response, she tells them to pray for a baby girl. In fact, this has been the mentality of the people for a long time.

“Now I’m pregnant and every time I meet someone, the first thing that people say is they would pray that I am blessed with a baby boy. But I request them not to do this and if they want to pray for me, pray for a girl child instead, why are you praying for a boy child? That is the sort of mindset that we grow up with consciously or subconsciously.”
