Indian badminton star PV Sindhu, renowned for her perseverance and dedication, has earned immense respect in the country. Her relentless effort to be the best shuttler in the world has propelled her to great heights.
Sindhu’s devotion to her country has endeared her to fans, but in one case, a fan’s admiration has taken a bizarre turn. In Tamil Nadu, a 70-year-old man named Malaisamy submitted a petition to the district collector claiming he was 16 years old and wished to marry the badminton star.
The man even said he was willing to abduct her to make this happen.
According to reports, Malaisamy presented a picture of Sindhu and a letter expressing his intentions, stating that he was born on April 4, 2004, and had been deeply impressed by her rise to fame in such a short period.
While it was unclear whether the petition was a joke or a serious statement, the situation has raised concerns among Sindhu’s followers, who have called for authorities to address the issue to prevent it from becoming a troubling trend.
