I was really surprised when I was told that my grandmother did not come to see me till a month after my birth. I was born seven years after my only sister Chandranshu, and my birth was a big disappointment for her.

I don't think I have the ability or patience to teach badminton to others.

My hero is Roger Federer.

After I win a match, I celebrate it by having an ice cream.

Rankings are not so important. I am only focused on winning tournaments.

I want to be the best, it's not about the ranking, it's about being consistent.

I love winning more than I love playing badminton. Winning is everything.
