The girl from a middle-class family was gradually groomed and transformed into a world-class player. The journey wasn't easy for Saina and her family but the girl managed to achieve great heights in the face of awesome odds. We pray and wish that this 'Super Girl of India' accomplishes larger glorious heights for herself and the entire nation.
