In a country obsessed with cricket, shuttler PV Sindhu managed to do the impossible. The 21 year old star badminton player forced everyone to switch on their televisions and tune in to the final match of women’s badminton singles in the Rio Olympics. In a nail biting match, Sindhu settled for silver medal competing with Spain’s Carolina Marin.
Sindhu’s ‘silver lining’ in a rather gloomy participation of India at the Rio Olympics made every Indian proud of her. Post her terrific performance she was showered with love from every nook and corner of India. All the voices in unison said the same thing, that they are proud of the Hyderabad girl.
By becoming the youngest Indian to get a medal in Olympics, PV Sindhu became the apple of many eyes. She made the likes of superstar Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and others are fans.
Superstar Rajinikanth congratulated Sindhu in a tweet and the tweet got over 17,000 retweeets in few hours. Akshay Kumar, earlier this morning shared a picture of him and the shuttler, saying he always knew she was an achiever.
