Through PSB, we aim to bring the joy and discipline of badminton to people from all walks of life, helping build a healthier, more focused generation inspired by sport.”
She continued, “Pappa, those who know you well, know your passion for this sport. Even at 70, all you do is eat, sleep, and breathe badminton. We are committed to making your passion a reality: Badminton for All!” Deepika wrapped up her message with a sweet, “Happy 70th Birthday, Pappa!”
