Hyderabad: During an interactive live session on social media, two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu lost a bet to renowned sports commentator Mandira Bedi on guessing the number of the Olympian's followers on Instagram. Taking it in a sportsman spirit, Sindhu agreed to transfer the bet amount via Bank of Baroda's recently launched app – BoB World.

She described the app as super-fast and the right partner for all her banking needs. She was speaking in Ask Me Anything (AMA) session #SmashItWithSindhu2 organised by Bank of Baroda (BoB) as a part of National Sports Day celebrations. She stressed on the importance of encouraging young kids to explore sports. Parents must support and inspire children to follow their passion for sports seriously, she said.

In a rapid-fire conversation, she revealed her personality traits being very jovial and sensitive unlike being aggressive on the court. When asked about her biopic, she expressed Deepika Padukone as the best fit to play her role as the actor is also a badminton player.

The AMA session has been viewed by more than 65,000 fans of the shuttler. Some fans asked questions on various aspects of Sindhu's journey. On winning her second Olympic medal, she said, "Winning back-to-back medals at the Olympics is definitely a dream come true. India is getting much better in sports year after year and the future looks very promising."

When a fan asked Sindhu, what does she like to do when she is not training, she replied that she loves dressing up and like a true millennial uses BoB World app extensively for its convenience and attractive offers. As a stressbuster, Sindhu loves travelling and she is able to plan her vacation by herself using BoB World services.
