Sania Mirza on the Pressure of Media Attention
Sania Mirza, a winner of six Grand Slam championships, said during the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025 that Richa Ghosh is still young and is facing a different digital environment. Sania explained that athletes once relied heavily on newspapers, while electronic media now highlights the personal lives of players more than ever. People often attach imaginary reasons to a loss, such as assuming that the athletes went out the previous night.
Why Athletes Should Avoid Social Media Influence
Sania said she never took such comments seriously. She found it unimportant because many of the critics online have no experience in sports. She noted that some of the unhappy people in life occasionally target their negative remarks at those who represent the country. She also added that the athletes should not let such opinions affect them and not give so much credence to social media.
Richa Ghosh on Growing Popularity and Criticism
Richa Ghosh says that earlier, women's cricket was not in the limelight, but now people have developed an interest in it. And with more appreciation comes more criticism. She said she always tries to focus on positive feedback as the sport is coming more into the limelight.
