Shraddha Kapoor On Playing Saina Nehwal: It Is A Daunting And Challenging Job
As Shraddha Kapoor gears up to bring the journey Saina Nehwal to the big screen, she says it will be one of the most challenging projects of her career.
As
Shraddha
Kapoor
gears
up
to
bring
the
journey
of
ace
Indian
shuttler
Saina
Nehwal
to
the
big
screen,
the
actor
says
it
will
be
one
of
the
most
challenging
projects
of
her
career.
"I
feel
her
(Nehwal)
career
is
going
great
guns,
especially
the
way
she
has
bounced
back
after
her
injury,
it
is
tremendous
and
so
inspiring.
"It
is
a
huge
responsibility
on
all
of
us
to
make
sure
that
we
do
a
thorough
job
of
presenting
her
on
the
big
screen.
It
is
a
daunting
and
challenging
job," Shraddha
told
PTI.
Shraddha
is
currently
busy
doing
preparation
for
the
biopic
on
the
27-year-old
London
Olympics
bronze
medallist
and
the
actor
says
she
is
enjoying
playing
badminton.
"I
fell
in
love
with
the
game
when
I
started
playing
it.
But
it
is
very
challenging.
On
the
days
when
I
practice
badminton,
my
days
are
completely
different
and
I
am
a
different
person
when
I
don't
play.
I
usually
start
playing
it
from
6
am
in
morning
everyday
for
two
hours
or
so.
"We
aim
to
practice
everyday
but
if
my
arms
or
legs
get
too
sore
then
I
don't
do
the
class.
I
feel
tempted
to
play
that
time
as
well
but
I
have
been
advised
not
to
play
as
I
would
get
prone
to
injuries."
Shraddha,
30,
says
she
often
texts
the
badminton
star
when
she
has
queries
regarding
the
game.
"She
is
so
prompt
and
helpful
always.
I
shared
a
video
of
me
practicing
badminton
and
she
gave
me
her
feedback.
She
is
such
a
inspirational
person."
When
asked
if
Saina
would
be
seen
in
a
cameo
appearance
in
the
film,
the
actor
says,
"It
is
all
work
in
progress
so
you
never
know."
The
film
will
be
directed
by
Amole
Gupte,
who
is
known
for
helming
films
revolving
around
kids
-
"Stanley
Ka
Dabba",
"Hawa
Hawai" and
"Sniff".
"He
(Gupte)
is
true
to
what
he
does.
He
is
filled
with
love,
affection
and
encouragement.
I
feel
like
a
child
with
him
as
he
showers
me
with
so
much
affection,"
says
Shraddha.
