Sania Finally Promotes Brand Telangana!

Sania Finally Promotes Brand Telangana!

Tennis star Sania Mirza, who is also the brand ambassador of Telangana State, finally did her job as 'brand ambassador' for the first time by promoting Telangana tourism on Wednesday.

Though she was appointed as brand ambassador in July 2014 by Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao, who himself handed over Rs 1 crore cheque to her for the purpose, hardly promoted Telangana on any platform in these 20 months.

Prior to this, KCR gifted another Rs 1 crore to Sania to meet her training and travel expenses to take part in various tennis tournaments across the world.

The CM and TRS government faced severe criticism from various quarters for gifting Rs 2 crore to Sania, who is known to be one among the richest tennis players in the world.

Sania not taking up a single promotion event as brand ambassador of Telangana further compounded the woes of KCR and Telangana government.

However, on Wednesday, Sania flagged off two catamaran yachts costing Rs 22 lakh, imported from USA and introduced at the Hussainsagar lake, amid a flotilla of seven boats in the presence of Telangana tourism officials.

With Sania launching these yachts and boats as brand ambassador of Telangana, the event attracted the immediate attention of public and media.

Sania clarified that since she was busy with tennis tournaments all through the year, she could not devote time to promote Telangana.

She said launching imported boats in Hussainsagar lake, gave her immense satisfaction as brand ambassador of Telangana and she would try to take up few more promotional events to promote "Brand Telangana" by taking out some time from her busy sporting schedule.
