Indian tennis star Sania Mirza is on a high - wining tournament after another. As the numbers of Slams and title wins increased so did her remuneration quote to attend events.
The Indian state of Madhya Pradesh sports department dropped the idea of inviting Mirza as chief guest for its annual sports awards function after state government refused to meet her demand for a makeup kit and chartered jet.
The event was to take place on August 29 but was postponed according to Mirza’s schedule.
Sports minister, Yashodhara Raje Scindia, herself made the disclosure. The minister said Mirza had asked the state government to arrange a chartered jet and Dh4139 worth make-up kit.
The minister also claimed she received the list of demands just four days before the function.
Now instead of the tennis player, senior badminton coach Pullela Gopichand will attend the function.
