I like Telugu movies, then comes Bollywood and then English movies. In Tollywood, I like Mahesh Babu and Prabhas. But no, I don't watch all their movies. I first find out if the movie is nice. If it's a flop, I don't watch it.
In my early years, I would travel 56 km. from home to the training institute and back every single day.
Since the Rio Olympics, the expectations are always high, and the responsibilities are also high. I am used to it now. You have to keep going and keep working hard.
You have to keep on learning all the time unless and until you become perfect in all the strokes.
The year 2017 has been really good for me. Definitely, a lot of positive things to learn from.
Every tournament I have won has been memorable.
You can't compare one tournament with another.
Playing for Hyderabad Hunters is a very good feeling.
I train for six days in a week for eight to ten hours of practice per day.
Talking about world-class player, no player is easy to play at this level. Each player has a different style of play.
Saina is not someone special player that I have to win against. It's not like that I must beat her. She is one of the players.
I prepare the same for every opponent.
Against each player, I will give 100 per cent. I give my best in every game.
When I started, I didn't think I would become a great player. It was my passion; I had interest. My parents supported me. In that way, I continued.
My parents have been volleyball players, and my dad is an Arjuna awardee in volleyball.
One tournament win doesn't make you perfect.
I love dressing up, and I'm aware that people do say that it can take your attention away from the game. But I disagree with this notion!
I love making friends and make others happy. But I also love to be happy all the time. All that aggression that you see remains on the court only.
I didn't think I would have an Olympic medal at 21, but I knew I would give my best and play my game. I just viewed it as my first Olympics and that I would take it one match at a time, but to bring a silver home made me very, very happy.
The Olympic medal gave me a lot of confidence, and I went and won my first Super Series in Hong Kong. So in that regards, what Rio did was give me extra motivation and the confidence that now anything can happen.
