The other organization, Sach stands for Save a Child's Heart. This organisation works for children under the age of one year, and suffer with heart problems.

As the conversation proceeded further, Sania shared her fitness regime with us. She said, "As fitness is of paramount importance, I do a lot to keep myself fit and going. My workouts include weight-training and power-running. As far as training for the game is concerned, I rehearse for around six hours a day". However, she said when food is concerned, she lets herself loose and does not restrict herself.

With respect to the constant remarks made on sports persons indulging in excessive brand endorsement, she said she is unperturbed by such comments. She feels as long as it does not affect her performance, she prefers ignoring such remarks.

Sania's tips for aspiring tennis players, "They shouldn't take the game lightly and work towards it solemnly. For starters an hour of training is enough."

As we windup our conversation, we asked her which her favorite sport is, apart from tennis. Her reply: "Cricket, and my favorite cricketer is none other than Sachin Tendulkar."

A rendezvous with the vivacious and magnificent looking guest, Lara Dutta, was just as exciting.

Despite coming from the same fraternity, having Mr Bachchan ask her questions gave Lara a mixed feeling of nervousness and excitement. "But then meeting Mr. Bachchan is never not so exciting" said a thrilled Lara.

Lara said, she follows the show regularly. Further, she adds, "KBC has revolutionized Indian television. It is gripping, and keeps you glued to the couch. The concept of having a celebrity guests who offer help to various charitable organizations, helps promote charity too."
