Taking a dig at the media, India's tennis star Sania Mirza on Saturday said she is spared from "nonsense" writing about her only when she is not playing. ('Want to be No. 1 Before I Retire')
"When I am not playing I read newspapers because that is the only time they don't write nonsense about me," Sania said during an interactive session of CII Young Indians 'Youth Conclave' here. (Sania Promises to Wow All in 'Bond' Avatar)
Sania, winner of three mixed doubles Grand Slam titles, said, said her self-belief took her where she is today as she also ridiculed her critics.
"Actually the amazing part of these critics is I don't think anyone of them would have ever held a cricket bat or tennis racket in their lives and that's what makes it amazing. You just have to believe in yourself," 28-year-old Sania said.Also read: Sania Mirza can't wait to team up with Roger Federer |Sania says no, never to acting in films)
She said 2010 was the hardest phase of her career as she had to undergo surgeries .
"In 2010 I was hurt for about six months I even got married (during that time). For those six months I was handicapped. I could not even comb my hair. I could not change my clothes. So playing tennis was very farfetched at that point. For me those six months was the hardest part of my life," she said.
According to her, she had to practice sometimes on a tennis court that was made with cow dung during her childhood.
