  • Saina's political plunge comes as a surprise, but she has always been an admirer of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    In 2015, when she met him before his birthday, Saina was impressed with how much PM Modi knew about her family. His comprehensive knowledge of her game made Saina feel like he was a family member.

    She had gifted him a racket too.

  • However, Saina's admiration for PM Modi landed her in controversies as well. Last year, she along with other known female personalities of India were trolled for putting out identical tweets praising him.

    "I thank @narendramodi for his initiative to honor and empower women this Diwali. Acknowledgement motivates us to work harder and make India proud. #bharatkilaxmi, (sic)" the tweet read.

  • Notably, Saina received flak from BJP critics after she praised PM Modi's Ramlila Maidan speech wherein he attempted to clear doubts about the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

    The law, which will make it easier for non-Muslims from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, to get Indian citizenship sparked widespread protests across India; and he said people with vested interests were spreading misinformation.
