sania brand ambassador of a Kerala-based jewellery outlet

MUMBAI: Teenage tennis sensation Sania Mirza is the brand ambassador of a Kerala-based jewellery outlet.

"I have signed up to be the brand ambassador of Malabar gold. This is my second endorsement deal after Lotto (Italian sportswear company). A few more are in the pipeline," she said.

However, she refused to give any details of the financial terms and conditions of the deal that she has signed.

Sania, who did not actually sashay down the catwalk despite expectations, said, "I have signed up to be the brand ambassador of Malabar Gold. This is my second endorsement deal after Lotto (the Italian sportswear company). A few more are in the pipeline." However, she refused to give any details of the financial terms and conditions of the deal that she has signed. "I have been spending Rs. 25-30 lakh annualy over the last few years for my tennis," she added, as if justifying her decision to go the corporate way like Sachin Tendulkar. The retail chain of Malabar Gold showcases a wide range of gold, diamond, platinum jewellery and an international array of Swiss watches, featuring brand names Rado, Omega, Tissot and Longines. It is endorsed by Kerala superstar Mohanlal.
