Badminton will gain momentum in a big manner after my win in Olympics. More players will participate in the game now.
Any girl who likes watching movies would like to work in them and would want to do all of that. I'm also one of them. But people know me for badminton and love me for it. So I'd stick to it right now. But maybe after badminton, I'll think about it.
I really thank my parents for giving me the good sense to not get into anything wrong. There are many people around who like controversies, and I actually wonder how do they do it. I don't have the courage to get into controversies. There are people who love it; I find it silly.
My hero is Roger Federer.
I'm a normal girl. I don't go out much, and I don't know what is enjoyment.
I have always wanted an Olympic medal. I always wanted to see India's national flag going up at the podium.
Once you are satisfied with your goal, it is the real happiness.
Unlike most youngsters who have school as their 'second home' where they meet and make friends, for me playtime has been at the Gopichand Badminton Academy in Hyderabad. When I am not playing a tournament, my days are spent at the Academy with my coaches, physiotherapists and colleagues, who are like family. We laugh and have so much fun.
