Sania has often spoken about her mother's immense strength and silent contribution to her success, describing her as the anchor of the family. Nasima preferred to stay away from the limelight, but her influence has been profound. Her family has a sporting background as her uncle (Sania's great-uncle) was the former Indian cricket captain, Ghulam Ahmed. Nasima's unwavering support and behind-the-scenes management were critical in allowing Sania to break barriers and become a global icon, making her an exemplary figure of maternal support in the world of sports.",
