"I was glad only my coaches and trainers were there. If Saina herself had been there, would've made me very nervous," said Parineeti Chopra
Parineeti Chopra, who has completely transformed herself into Saina Nehwal for the upcoming biopic of the badminton champion Saina, revealed it would have been intimidating for her if Saina watched her play during the film's shoot. In a statement recently, Parineeti said a conversation with Saina Nehwal urged her to train harder for perfecting the sport: "I remember visiting Saina Nehwal's house in Hyderabad to meet her and she had told me, 'I have never seen you play sports before.' When we returned I knew I had to double my training as someone entrusted me with a responsibility to play the sport right. If I can play even 1% of what she played, I would consider myself lucky." "I was glad only my coaches and trainers were there. If Saina herself had been there, would've made me very nervous," added the 32-year-old actress.More Related News
