Once again sports stars prove to be some of India’s largest brands, as tennis star Sania Mirza is all set to make her web-series debut. The sportswoman will be seen in MTV’s ‘Nisedh Alone Together‘.
According to IANS, the fictional series is aimed at raising awareness about tuberculosis. The five-part show is a spin-off to MTV’s ‘Nisedh‘.

In a statement, the sportswoman talked about why awareness about tuberculosis is an important cause. The issue has only gotten worse in India amid the pandemic.
“TB continues to be one of the most chronic health issues in our country. With about half of the diagnosed cases under the age of 30, there is an urgent need to tackle fallacies around it and drive a perception change,”
She also talked about telling the story through a young couple, given how aware young people are nowadays.
“MTV Nishedh Alone Together conveys that in a unique and impactful way. The youth of today is more aware, sensitive, and conscious about issues that plague our country. TB is a continuing menace, and its impact has only worsened through the pandemic. The fight to curb TB is more difficult now than ever and that’s what prompted me to come on board. As someone who is in a place of influence, I hope my presence helps in some way to collectively fight the societal conventions and bring about a positive change.”
