The daughter of TV mechanic Shahid Ali, Sania Mirza is set to become India's first Muslim female fighter pilot and the state's first IAF female pilot. She was ranked 149th overall on the National Defense Academy (NDA) exam.

"There were only two seats reserved for women in the fighter pilots wing. I couldn't get a seat on the first try. However, I managed to get a seat on the second try," Sania Mirza was quoted as saying by ETV Bharat online.

Sania said, "I was inspired by Avani Chaturvedi, India's first female fighter pilot." She said: "It's a myth that only people with good English communication skills get selected for the NDA.

Her mother, Tabassum Mirza, said: "Our daughter has made us and the whole village proud. She fulfills the dream of becoming the first female fighter pilot. She inspired all the girls in the village to follow her dreams."
