President Droupadi Murmu’s natural love for sports and games was seen when she played badminton with Olympic bronze medallist Saina Nehwal at the Badminton Court in Rashtrapati Bhavan here on Wednesday.
London 2012 Olympic bronze medallist Saina Nehwal held the previous record for the most weeks as world No. 1 for an Indian badminton player. She climbed up to the No. 1 rank in the badminton rankings on August 18, 2015, and remained there till October 21, 2015, for nine weeks.
World Champion took to X to share a picture with her mother with the beautiful monument in the backdrop, captioning the post, "How marble-ous is the Taj Mahal?"

London Olympic Games bronze medallist Saina Nehwal has pulled out of final selection trials for a place in the badminton competition for the Asian Games 2023.
The sisters seem to be having a lot of fun in the video. Parineeti seems to have shot the video herself while dancing.
Parineeti had replaced actress Shraddha Kapoor in the Saina Nehwal biopic, which is being directed by Amole Gupte.
PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal, among others, will arouse Indian hopes in badminton, though it is time we realised the suicidal impact of a nation’s collective aspirations being focused on a few outstanding individuals who frankly have climbed up the hard way in spite rather than because of the system.
Saina lost 16-21, 23-21, 4-21 to world No.212 Zhiyi in an hour and seven minutes to bow out of the competition early after which the Indian challenge in the women's singles category also ended.
Directed by Amole Gupta and produced by Bhushan Kumar and Divya Khosla Kumar, the biopic is set to release next year.
