Indian tennis player and wife of Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, Sania Mirza on Thursday responded to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader’s objection over her appointment as brand ambassador of Indian state Telangana, stating that she is an Indian and will remain so. The BJP had criticised Telangana for appointing Mirza as its brand ambassador, saying that she was a non-local and “daughter-in-law” of Pakistan. 1.

I am an Indian, who will remain an Indian until the end of my life. — Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) July 24, 2014 The ace tennis player took to Twitter to inform her fans about her stance on the issue.
