Few sportspeople are associated with glamour and fashion but tennis star Sania Mirza, who walked the ramp at the India International Jewellery Week (IIJW), says she enjoys the same things as other women do.
“I am a sportsperson but I’m a girl first. And that’s why I’m fond of jewellery just like any other girl. Being a sportsperson doesn’t mean that I don’t have desires and wishes that other women have,” she said on the show’s opening day in Monday.
Mirza is no stranger to fashion though, having walked the ramp at various shows such as the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour, Indian Bridal Fashion Week and the Global Fashion Show among others.
On the runway, Mirza wore designer Moni Agarwal’s collection for her brand, Zohrakshi.
The IIJW will go on till Thursday. It is the sixth edition of the show launched in 2010 to showcase India’s finest in jewellery in terms of design and innovation.
Mirza also said that she is proud of her Wimbledon victory with Swiss star Martina Hingis. The Grand Slam win was her first doubles title in the women’s category. Previously, she won three mixed doubles Grand Slam titles.
