She has been honored by Sony YAY! as part of their flagship Teachers' Day initiative 'Heroes Behind The Heroes'. The initiative honors and recognizes the hard work put in by the teachers of global icons from diverse fields.

"So honored to win this award.. giving back through tennis is something that I could only dream of and I feel so blessed to make a small difference," Sania said in a statement to IANS.
