Sania Mirza, who has been criticised by Islamic fundamentalists for wearing skimpy skirts, which are actually quite regulation stuff in tennis tournaments in the West, was spotted wearing a hijab in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. We'll say she still looks cool.

Now, if sources are to be believed we hear that the female lead for this international project will be none other than Preity Zinta.
