Hyderabad: It’s a challenge that has gone viral on the social media, one that US President Barack Obama politely rejected after being nominated twice. Welcome to the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Now, the charity dare has crossed the world to reach Hyderabad and Sania Mirza was one of the first in India to step up.
In the Ice Bucket Challenge, people pour ice-cold water on themselves in a bid to raise awareness on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. After completing the challenge, the person has to post their video and then nominate three others, who have 24 hours to take it up or else, will have to donate $100 to any charity working for neurodegenerative disorders.
For her first video, Sania Mirza appeared to be standing on a tennis court and someone poured a huge packet of ice over her head. But fans were not impressed. “At least take a bucket”, “the most boring ice bucket...how did you manage to make it so boring”, “It is not ice packet challenge duh...”, were some of the comments under poor Sania’s video.
But the champ took up the challenge for a second time. The video tag read, “Take 2 ALS Ice bucket, For people who thought I didn’t have enough water in my ice bucket challenge.”
She has also nominated Mahesh Bhupathi, Riteish Deshmukh, Yuvraj Singh and sister Anam Mirza next.
