Indian tennis star Sania Mirza treated her fans to a fun yet inspiring video on Instagram. The six-time Grand Slam winner wore the Indian kit for Tokyo Olympics and displayed her dance skills in the reels.

India’s Olympic kit for the 2020 Tokyo Games was launched last month by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).

The video begins with Sania grooving to the popular song ‘Kiss me more’ by Doja Cat and soon after, a text appears on the screen that reads “The ‘A’ in my name stands for”.

She captioned the video, “The ‘A’ in my name stands for soooo much in my life.” Later in the video, she explained that the ‘A’ in her name stands for – “Aggression, Ambition, Achieve and Affection.”

This marks Sania’s 4th Olympics stint and she will have 27-year-old Ankita Raina as her partner for the Tokyo Olympics in the Women’s Doubles event.

With this, Sania will now become the first female athlete to represent India at four Olympics when she features at the Tokyo 2020, slated to get underway from July 23, while Ankita Raina will be making her debut at the showpiece event.

Recently, Sania also interacted with PM Narendra Modi and discussed preparations for the forthcoming event.
