P. V. Sindhu started playing badminton at the age of eight. Though her parents were professional volleyball players, Sindhu chose badminton over volleyball because she drew inspiration from the success of Pullela Gopichand, the 2001 All England Open Badminton Champion. Despite her busy training schedules and international tournaments, she managed to attend regular school until class 9, after which all her classes were through correspondence.
She balanced both her passion as well as her academics. Now, she holds a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce (B.Com.). Her commitment and the required hard work has fulfilled her desire to be a good badminton player.
