PV Sindhu got India its first silver at Rio Olympics 2016 and the country just can't thank her enough. She may have lost the finale to world number one Carolina Marin but united a country and won a billion hearts with her splendid performance on Friday night.

Salman Khan shared a picture and captioned it as “Saw d finals on tv with my mom and told her I hv a picture with Sindhu. Proud.”
