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

You win some and lose some. It’s all part of the game. You have to take it in a very positive way.

I think you can never be a complete player.

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

Definitely, the aim is to become No.1.

You have to keep on learning all the time unless and until you become perfect in all the strokes.

There are many defining moments in my journey.

Each tournament is different.

Every time I go on to the court, people expect me to get a medal. It is tough, and I can’t win always, but I still have to go out there and give my best.

I have a lot of hunger to win the big titles.

Many players are of the same standard; it all depends on how your strokes land on the other side of court.

I love to experiment with my looks and dresses on and off the court because I love to turn out very well. But, I must add here that just good-looking athletes can’t do anything for their sport.

I have worked really hard since the age of eight, so each phase of my life is equally important.

It was important for me to get a super series title.

I am thankful to my parents. They have done many sacrifices.

I am really lucky that I got such good coaches and everything I wanted, right from the infrastructure to proper coaching.

I don’t fear anyone. I just concentrate on giving my best.

I’m always gonna do my own thing. I wanna be something – whether I’m 19 years old working at a pet store, or I’m 19 years old with a No. 1 record – I wanna be the biggest I can be to my crowd, no matter what my crowd is.

No man is a good citizen, a good neighbor, a good friend, or a good man just because he obeys the law. The intrinsic worth is determined mainly by the intrinsic make-up.

I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying.

Success waits patiently for anyone who has the determination and strength to seize it.

A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.

The amount of stress in your life is determined by how much energy you expend resisting your life.

Being disciplined and determined are my fitness mantra.

Fighting is not physical, fighting is spiritual. It’s the determination and the will in the guy.
