“I think each player has a different style of play, and every match is different.”

Nagpur to Kanyakumari and Kashmir, future Olympic medallists can come from anywhere. It is the passion that drives you, not the city, provided you get enough facilities.

I had once thought I would become a doctor but gave up on the thought soon enough. I took up the racquet instead. Later, when I saw my sister studying so much to become a doctor, I was like, ‘Thank God I am a shuttler!’

Previously, people were like, ‘She might win the tournament,’ but now it’s like, ‘She should win the tournament.’

My parents have been volleyball players, and my dad is an Arjuna awardee in volleyball.

Playing for Hyderabad Hunters is a very good feeling.

The year 2017 has been really good for me. Definitely, a lot of positive things to learn from.

Win or lose, I always focus only on giving my 100%.

My period days didn’t make me falter: they made me more determined to pursue my dreams.

Saina is not someone special player that I have to win against. It’s not like that I must beat her. She is one of the players.

I will keep working on different aspects of my games. It’s not so easy, and I need to work on every stroke.

I am aggressive only on court.

You have to keep working all the time. How much you learn, there is always room for learning; you will have to keep improving all the time.

My coaches have always been on my side, motivating me to try harder and harder every day, which is not easy.

You can’t compare one tournament with another.

Winning a tournament at the end of the year boosts your confidence a lot.

It’s always good to win a title.

Wouldn’t it be a different world if love passed as freely through us as money passes through hands.

We have a tendency to condemn people who are different from us, to define their sins as paramount and our own sinfulness as being insignificant.

Only peril can bring the French together. One can’t impose unity out of the blue on a country that has 265 different kinds of cheese.

It was really fun to play a period piece because I’ve never done that before and it’s completely different.

Competitive strategy is about being different. It means deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver a unique mix of value.

You have to allow your mind to create and then if you want to censor something and bring it down or point it in a different direction, then you can do it.

I already enjoy cooking. I like different flavors and putting different things together and really like taking normal recipes to a higher level.

Greetings, I am pleased to see that we are different. May we together become greater than the sum of both of us.
