“Ups and downs will be happening; coming to the final and losing by a point or so should not matter.”

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.

The competition is tough at the international level. There are very good players.

Have faith in yourself and have faith in work, no matter how many difficulties come, you will find a way.

Many difficulties which nature throws in our way, may be smoothed away by the exercise of intelligence.

Pursue your goals even in the face of difficulties, and convert adversities into opportunities.

A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.

When you don’t come from a film background, getting the right debut is important and difficult, as you don’t have the sensibility to know what will work and what won’t.
