I am lucky to have sportspersons as parents: PV Sindhu
New Delhi, Oct 5 (IBNS): Indian badminton star PV Sindhu on Saturday thanked her parents for the achievements on the badminton court.
Born to national level volleyball players PV Ramana and P. Vijaya on July 5, 1995, Sindhu is considered as one of the most brilliant badminton players to represent the nation in the arena of international sports so far.
“I am lucky to have sportspersons as parents. They supported me in whichever sport I wanted to play. People ask me why not volleyball as both parents were volleyball players. My parents supported my decision to take up badminton. I have reached wherever I have because of the sacrifices of my parents,” the ace shuttler said while speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit.
Speaking on her rivalry with Saina Nehwal, another Indian badminton player, she said: "Having a rivalry is not a bad thing as when you go on to the court you play for yourself. We play in different academies but when we play for the country we are one team.”
