Sania Mirza Tells Richa Ghosh Social Media Shouldn’t Make or Break Your Day

Their Future Makers Conclave conversation reflected a generational shift in coping with online scrutiny.

Overview

  • Mirza urged Ghosh to avoid letting online praise or abuse dictate her mood, calling social media feedback inconsequential to daily well-being.
  • Drawing on her career, Mirza said criticism made her thick-skinned, noting she often finds harsh comments humorous and feels sorry for those who post them.
  • Ghosh said she treats criticism as a positive signal of progress in women’s cricket, since more followers naturally bring more scrutiny.
  • The exchange took place in a fireside chat moderated by Mayanti Langer at the Future Makers Conclave during the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025.
  • Organisers said the 28th edition of the three-day summit, themed Futurise, concluded Thursday at Bengaluru’s BIEC, with coverage reported via PTI and carried by News18 and Rediff.
