Company drops Sania from ad campaign due to revealing dress

This is the latest news about Sania Mirza. Her 'revealing' dress has again become an issue. And it has not come from any Islamic seminary in the form of fatwa or any advocate approaching the Indian court.

The Muslim owned Malabar Gold group has decided to drop the 'Sania Exclusive range' because of the 'indecent dress'. Apparently the company wanted her to also appear dressed in Salwar Kamiz and Sari but the Hyderabadi girl refused.

The company that has a huge clientele among Muslims in Gulf and South India, was apparently concerned about its own image as well. Probably the company felt that the 'skimpy' dressed wore by the tennis player would offend 'traditionalist' customers in Arab.
