Saina Nehwal Sports Quotations

My uncles and other relatives are against encouraging girls in every aspect, and that includes sports. I hardly interact with them. My parents are more open. They back me all the way.

Both my parents were amateur badminton players. My father is a scientist and wanted me to be a doctor. But my mom was very aggressive and loved badminton. She pushed me right from the age of nine to take up the sport.

Badminton is not a popular sport in India.

All sports should get support from the government and corporate bodies.

Men are domineering in rural Haryana, and that shows in sport, too.

I want to see more sports in schools.
