India badminton ace PV Sindhu may have failed in her quest for what would have been a record third medal at the Olympic Games, but she has won hearts nevertheless with her encouraging message for women across the world.
Moments after winning her final group match, beating Estonia’s Kristin Kuuba 21-5, 21-10 at the La Chappele Arena in Paris recently, Sindhu was asked if she, being an example of women empowerment, had a message for girls around the world, particularly from under-developed nations, who hesitate to step out and take their place in the sun.
