Sharapova has often been criticised for promoting unhealthy snacking habits among children through Suga Pova candies.

She had earlier this year said that while she understands the health concerns due to high sugar content in the candies, it was 'unfair' to criticise her for it.

"It's understandable. I don't know that it's fair but I understand the criticism. But the only way to respond to that is that I'm an athlete that knows what is healthy and what is not for my body," she was quoted as saying.
