Your dreams are what define your individuality. They have the power to give you wings and make you fly high.

When you are injured, you need to strengthen yourself very well to make a comeback very confidently.

Fitness is the key. You need to have strokes and stamina and agility; you need to exercise really well. On-court and off-court are equally important.

There will be many obstacles in the pursuit of your dreams. I had long hours of training, balancing studies and badminton.

I have learnt many things, but there's more to learn. Every day is a new start.

If it makes me happy, it definitely adds to my well-being.

The key is not being overconfident. You should not think that because I'm a top-ranked player, I will win this game. You have to be focused.

Hard work is the key for success.

I went to school like any other regular student till Class VIII, and my favourite subject was math. From Class IX, things got a little difficult to manage. I was inclined towards studies, but then I also had to give time to badminton.
