What we do in life, how we shape up, and what we are groomed into being – is all our parents doing. PV Sindhu’s World Championship heroics are also down to a pivotal part her parents played in grooming her to be a winner.
Sindhu comes from a sports frantic family – both her father and mother are former national level volleyball players. It’s all in the family, but it hasn’t been an easy road to the pinnacle of success.
After finding her love in badminton at the raw age of 8, PV Sindhu found the sport greatly inspiring, more so because of Pullela Gopichand’ success in the All England Open Badminton Championship in 2001.
Her parents supported her dreams from a very young age. After joining the Pullela Gopichand’s Academy, it was her father who used to travel with her for 56 kms, to take her to the academy.

Her mother played her part too, giving the young Sindhu the confidence and keeping a healthy diet on the menu, everyday of the week. Sindhu’s mother ensured that her daughter was always fit and firing. She acted as a mother, dietitian, and a fitness guru.
The support from the family is a vital part in a person’s success, and PV Sindhu had it aplenty. Her parents always stood by her, gave her the confidence, and the right motivation to realise her dreams.
Sindhu’s parents have been so immense in her life, that it would be unfair if words would define their significance. They have dedicated their lives for Sindhu’s success and she has been repaying the faith in the best possible manner – winning and living the dream.

A gold at World Championships, an Olympic silver medal, gold at commonwealth Games, are just a few successful tales in the prestigious career of magnifique PV Sindhu.

Her gold win at the World Championship was a fitting tribute to the sacrifices made by her parents. They would be beaming with glorified pride – their daughter is showing them that what they invested, will be paid and weighed in gold.
We are thankful to her parents for producing a champion. Also, we are lucky and proud to be enjoying this fairytale journey with them.
