Controversy

Laxman sparked a controversy over Sania Mirza being made the brand ambassador of Telangana by calling her Pakistan’s "daughter-in-law" after her marriage to cricketer Shoaib Malik and unfit to be a representative of an Indian state. This sparked outrage and drew a fierce response from Sania who said she will remain an Indian until the "end of her life". [9] [10]
