All the hard work she is putting in on the court is paying off for Saina Nehwal.
All the hard work she is putting in on the court is paying off for Saina Nehwal. Recently, Maruti Suzuki gifted her a Maruti SX4 for winning her gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. When she won the Hong Kong Super Series a few days later, Saina was given the honour, if it can be called that, of an applause in the Lok Sabha. Speaker Meira Kumar read out a message lauding the 20-year-old baddie player, as Parliamentarians thumped their tables. “Her achievement is a matter of national pride,” Kumar said. “She is a source of inspiration for many budding sportspersons of our country. Our best wishes for Saina.”
