Instilling faith in PV Sindhu, Mary Kom on Friday said that she is sure that Sindhu will win gold in Rio Olympics 2016. “I am sure that PV Sindhu will satisfy nation’s hunger for a gold medal this time. The entire nation is ready to cheer for her. She’ll surely bag the Gold. I pray for her. All set to cheer for her,” she said. From Amitabh Bachchan, Virat Kohli to Sachin Tendulakr everyone is wishing Sindhu. Locals in Delhi have organized a puja ahead of her match against Carolina Marin. On the other hand, Sports Minister Vijay Goel on Friday tweeted that the Ministry has installed a giant screen at the Central Park, Connaught Place, where her match will be broadcasted at 7pm today.
In order to pray for her victory, prayers and ritulas are being performed in different parts of the country. While Virat Kohli has released a video wishing the badminton player, others took a jibe at Shobha De for calling her a “silver princess.” The 21-year-old daughter of Vijaya and P V Ramana — both former volleyball players — has assured India a top-two podium.
