I can relate to Saina's journey in a big way: Shraddha Kapoor

Shraddha Kapoor says she can relate to Saina's journey since she had similar experiences in a different field.

Shraddha shared the first look as Saina Nehwal in Badminton Player's biopic on Saturday.

Shraddha who has been practising for months including many 6am training sessions while juggling other commitments in a statement said, “I have already clocked 40 classes of badminton in preparation for this biopic. It’s a really tough sport, but I am enjoying myself. To get an insight into the life of a sportsperson is fascinating.

Saina’s journey itself is so interesting — right from her misses to her injuries and victories. I can relate to her journey in a big way, because I have gone through similar experiences in a different field. Despite everything, she has not let her focus shift and that’s what’s truly inspiring.”

Produced by Bhushan Kumar and directed by Amol Gupte, Saina is a biopic based on Indian badminton player Saina Nehwal.
