'Your wishes mean the world to me': Sindhu's heartfelt message to Modi

PV Sindhu became the first Indian to win the Japan Open, defeating Akane Yamaguchi 21-17, 21-17 in the women's singles final.

Sindhu thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his congratulatory message, saying 'Your wishes mean the world to me.'

She recalled memorable meetings with Modi after the Tokyo Olympics, including sharing ice cream and a conversation in his office.

Sindhu praised Modi's work ethic and his unwavering support for Indian sport.

The Japan Open win ended a two-year title drought for Sindhu and a seven-year wait for a Super 750 or higher title.
