Childhood is one of the most beautiful phases of our life. Growing up into a teenager, discovering new things, and learning about the unknown, this transition is one of the most remarkable journeys of our life. But anyone’s comments, unnecessary opinions, and people watching a young person all the time can be very hard for everyone. Sania Mirza started playing professionally at a very young age and she reached the heights of her career when she was just a teenager.
When asked if the rise in her career was a lot to take in, she replied, ‘100%! It was a lot for a 16-year-old girl. You are discovering who you are as a person at that age. You are still discovering that you have pimples on your face. If you are a few kilos up and down, and you have people commenting on that.’
