Badminton player Jwala Gutta turns 32 today. Her sister Insi sent a very special message to Jwala through The Quint.
In the message, Insi talks about “the fighter” that Jwala is and where she gets her inspiration from. Insi also speaks about her sister’s fight when she was not allowed to participate in the qualifiers for the Beijing Olympics.
On a lighter note, she says that off the court, Jwala loves to be pampered and is sometimes even a little lazy. And her big dream for her sister is to bring home an Olympic medal.
We hope you succeed in all your endeavours. Here’s to a wonderful year ahead, Jwala Gutta. Do us proud.
