Indian badminton star Saina Nehwal has been in the headlines for the past few days over her controversial interviews. At first, she made headlines when she stated that cricket is easier than other sports.
Fans replied with a reference to Jasprit Bumrah and it started a back-and-forth that died down with time. Former World No.1 badminton once again made headlines a few days earlier when she stated that before Neeraj Chopra she had no idea about the Javelin throw.
In an interview, Saina stated, “When Neeraj Chopra won gold, that’s when I got to know there is such an event in athletics.” The fans were shocked and were left perplexed by such a statement.
Saina Nehwal Hits Back
After the statement, many trolls attacked Saina and gave her the title of ‘Kangana Ranaut Of Sports.’ The title made headlines and even got the attention of Saina herself.
The 2012 London Olympic bronze medalist replied to the trolls and was quite furious. She tweeted that sitting at home and commenting is easy but winning medals for the country is tough.
She wrote, “Thanks for the compliment. Kangana is beautiful…but I had to be perfect in my sport and I proudly achieved world number 1 and an Olympic medal in badminton for my country. Again I will say this sitting at home and commenting is easy but playing sports isn’t. Neeraj is our superstar and he made the sport so popular in India.”
Similar Situation
As mentioned earlier, Saina had found herself in a similar situation when she stated that cricket is easier than other sports. Fans trolled her that time to with a reference to Jasprit Bumrah.
Saina replied to the trolls saying “Why would I face Jasprit Bumrah anyways? If I had been playing for 8 years maybe I would have answered Jasprit Bumrah. If Jasprit Bumrah plays badminton with me maybe he won’t be able to take my smash.”
