Shraddha Kapoor, who is portraying Saina Nehwal on the big screen, says the ace badminton player’s journey mirrors her own. The 31-year-old actor says she has been practicing for the role for many months now and during the process she came to realize how hard it was for Saina to achieve her success.
“I have already clocked 40 classes of badminton in preparation for this biopic. It’s a really tough sport, but I am enjoying myself. To get an insight into the life of a sportsperson is fascinating. Saina’s journey itself is interesting— from her misses to her injuries and victories,” Shraddha said in a statement.
“I can relate to her journey in a big way, because I have gone through similar experiences in a different field. Despite everything, she has not let her focus shift and that’s what’s truly inspiring,” she added.
