For me it is a matter of pride that I have been born in the age in the which Tendulkar is playing

The best thing about Sachin Tendulkar is that he's completely rooted, down to earth, and a thorough gentleman. He's probably the best thing to have happened to Indian cricket and maybe Indian sport as a whole.

Negativity sells. I have been labelled a rebel. If I had been one, would I have got married at 23? Would I have been a straight A student?

I love salon days to pamper myself, do my nails.

I Pray That A Tennis Player Should Emerge From Ranchi As MS Dhoni Emerged For Cricket

Having been away from competitive tennis for a while, I am looking forward immensely to getting back on the circuit ... I am looking forward to playing the Big Girls. People have had expectations from me even when I was 10 years old. I try to switch off but you are right, it isn't always easy to do that because the expectations are really mounting.

My biggest strength is that no one can read my forehand

As long as I am winning, people shouldn't care whether my skirt is six inches long or 6 feet long.

I love any kind of food. I dont have a sweet tooth, but I love haleem.

I have always believed that my job is to try and give my best on the tennis courts.
