Meet Anam Mirza, Sania Mirza’s multi-crore sister who quit UPI to rein in her spending

Anam Mirza, the younger sister of tennis star Sania Mirza, is making headlines not just for her entrepreneurial success but also for her unconventional money-saving move—quitting UPI altogether.

In a video posted on her Instagram series Little Changes, Big Impact, Anam shared that she deleted all UPI payment apps, including Google Pay, to take control of her spending habits. “This year, I stopped using Google Pay. No UPI. No instant payment,” she revealed. “I emptied my UPI accounts, deleted the apps—no balance, nothing.” Her aim? To make spending less convenient, thereby curbing impulse buys.

While the change initially posed challenges—like asking friends to cover small expenses such as coffee—it helped her develop more mindful spending habits. The video quickly went viral, sparking conversations around digital payment behavior and financial discipline.


Who Is Anam Mirza?
Anam Mirza has built a name for herself far beyond being Sania Mirza’s sister. As a fashion entrepreneur and digital content creator, she reportedly boasts a net worth of over Rs 331 crore as of June 2025, according to Zee News—even higher than Sania’s estimated ?216 crore.

Armed with a Mass Communication degree from St. Francis College, Hyderabad, Anam began her career with internships in journalism before pivoting to fashion and digital media. She is the founder of The Label Bazaar, a fashion exhibition brand launched in 2014, and Dua India, a clothing line named after her daughter born in 2022. She also organizes the Ramzan Expo, one of India’s most visited cultural shopping events, attracting over 1.5 lakh attendees annually.

On the personal front, Anam is married to Mohammad Asaduddin, son of cricket legend Mohammad Azharuddin. The couple tied the knot in 2019, and their life together frequently features on Instagram and YouTube, where Anam commands a subscriber base of over 139K.

Balancing roles as a mother, businesswoman, and influencer, Anam Mirza is setting a new example for Indian women redefining success—and now, smart savings—in the digital age.
