Tennis star Sania Mirza was disappointed that she could not see the Taj Mahal, the man-made marvel, during her visit to Agra city on Tuesday.
The Hyderabadi, who won the mixed doubles at the US Open, partnering Bruno Soares of Brazil, and Asian Games, with Saketh Myneni, arrived late and failed to get an entry to the 17th century monument.
When she arrived, the gates were already closed for the day, said a tourist guide.
Later, she expressed happiness over India winning five medals at the recently-concluded Asian Games at Incheon, although she felt many people did not expect the depleted team that was sent to do well.
Having been made brand ambassador by the TRS government in Telangana, she said would like to bring laurels to the state.
