Sumita Chakraborty meets Olympic winner PV Sindhu and her Padma Bhushan awardee coach Pullela Gopichand, and comes away impressed!
How does an Olympic silver medallist behave after becoming the nation’s favourite child and winning tonnes of accolades including cash prizes, exorbitantly priced luxe cars and other humongous rewards? …I wonder as I wait patiently at the Mumbai Press Club for badminton ace PV Sindhu and her super coach Pullela Gopichand to arrive. They are the new brand ambassadors of a health drink called ‘Ojasvita Malt’ - being launched by its parent company Sri Sri Ayurveda at the Mumbai Press Club.
15 minutes later, shutterbugs go berserk as the winning duo walk in. PV Sindhu and Pullela Gopichand, dressed identically in sunny yellow tees and black tracks, look a little out of sorts at the media’s clamouring attention. In fact, shy and unassuming, they stand a little far away from the podium as the organisers start the proceedings by politely apologising for starting late – ‘though Pullela and Sindhu are extremely ‘punctual’, they too were unable to conquer the ever-snarling Mumbai traffic’.
