"I am happy to know that Sania Mirza has become the brand ambassador of Telangana and I am proud of Telangana, but I am very hurt and sad that I have still not received the cash award from my (erstwhile) state for the Olympics bronze medal that I won for my country," Saina tweeted today.
The Andhra Pradesh government, headed by the then Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, had announced a cash award of Rs 50 lakh for Saina after she won a bronze medal at London Olympics in 2012.
