Tennis sensation and Hyderabad beauty Sania Mirza joined the Bollywood brigade at runway for designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil at the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour 2012, held at Grand Hyatt in Mumbai. With her hair in place and impeccable make-up in check, Mirza looked stunning in a sari gown as she sashayed down the ramp with lots of grace and confidence.
The deep royal blue color of her outfit offset the stylish sports star skin tone beautifully. Interacting with the media, Mirza said: “The experience was very different to what I usually do! I had a lot of fun and it helps because there is no pressure from this (designer’s) side because they are my friends! They just asked me to go out there and have fun, so that’s what I was doing.” She added, “This sari gown is so comfortable that I can play tennis wearing it!”
