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

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.

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

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

My philosophy is to not be scared of anyone. If I play well, great; if I dont, I learn from the match and move on.

I cannot believe there is caste system in society; I cannot believe people are judged on the basis of their prosperity.

Once you are satisfied with your goal, it is the real happiness.
