“I’m not scared, it’s exciting for me to be able to tell my story and for people to be able to watch.”
Sania Mirza went on to state that the lives of athletes are relatable to audiences. She explained:
“The hard work that goes into the making of an athlete a lot of people can relate to it in different ways.
“We all work hard but when you play a sport you can actually work through sweat and blood. Everybody loves champions.
“Also, a lot of sports personalities, including me, come from a humble background.”
“From having almost nothing to going into becoming huge champions and representing our country, our lives are very relatable.”
