She rather aced out the audience with her wit  and bold answers. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cI am focusing on Australian Open and preparing hard for it. There is a  lot of time to go for the event and anything can happen in between,\u201d  Sania said while responding to her plans for 2012.<br \/> About the controversies surrounding her throughout the career, she said,  \u201cI never paid attention to the opinions of the people. They have  opinions and I do have mine. I have never responded to the controversies  on what I wear, whom I marry and what I talk about and hence, why  should it matter?\u201d <\/p>\n<p> When Divya touched upon her much talked about marriage with a Pakistani  national, she said, \u201cIt\u2019s about two people getting married irrespective  of the nationality. Why should nationality come in between? I was asked  if this would improve the political relations between the two countries  and I did not see any sense in such questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Recalling an interesting incident during her wedding days, Sania said,  \u201cThe media was camping outside my home and a chai-waala opened up his  shop to cash-on the media frenzy. There have been good and bad  experiences but because I have been seeing the media glamour from very  early age, I have grown up to accept it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Mumbai: <\/strong>Sania Mirza has her all focus on the Australian Open  for the year 2012, revealed the India woman tennis icon in a candid chat  with Divya Palat, a theatre personality.
