One Anshul Sagar tweeted: "@NSaina dear saina...pack ur bags..we hav found someone who knows how to beat the best ones."
Nehwal replied: "Sure thank u Sindhu is doing really well India is doing really."
The response made the person apologise for his remark.
"@NSaina sorry for hurting u ..i really didnt mean it..i still love u...still a big fan," he tweeted.
Nehwal again replied to his tweet and said: "No problem my friend all the best to u."
The netizen made the comment at a time when another Indian badminton sensation PV Sindhu reached the finals of the women's singles event at the Rio Olympics and assured India at least a silver medal.
Saina crashed out of the event early.
