Very heartwarming podcast. It is so great that people like H S Prannoy are getting recognition and other sports such as badminton are also sharing limelight as cricket. Mr. Dilip, it was an outstandung podcast. There was a very good flow which felt as if it were a conversation between 2 friends. Keep it up! Your channel would soon get the recognition which you deserve. All the best! From a fellow badminton athlete

[@theothersidewithdilip]

Pleased to hear this, friend! Wish you the best with the game. ❤️

[@Kanhu_plays]

Great mindset. He believes upskilling himself rather than keeping any goal. He knows if you put effort result will definitely come

[@theothersidewithdilip]

Absolutely

[@sarveshpande2879]

I opened YT and Saw HS Prannoy Podcast recommendation😍 Couldn't resist myself not clicking it 😊

[@rushabhghiya]

Fabulous talk. He is so clear minded. Obviously he's come a long way. The struggle was real. And now so is the success. Absolutely awesome

[@strangerbeing9878]

Mad respect for him I mean what he's achieved at his age playing in one of the most physically demanding sports in the world is simply magnificent. After all the injuries and struggles he's had at an age where everyone is supposed to be "peaking" and still making a comeback and being in Top 10 consistently is in itself a huge accomplishment. I watched both the matches which won him medals in WCs and AGs. Was completely mesmerized by his sheer mental strength to not drop his lvl at any point and the way he plays so well when the odds are stacked against him shows how self-assured and confident he is in himself. Even in Thomas Cup I remember in the SFs he got injured in the 1st game and it looked quite worrying and I didn't expect him to come from a game down to win the match given the circumstances. But he did win and I knew that he was going places. Currently he seems to be going through some troubles. Had a disappointing few tournaments but I'm pretty sure he'll bounce back and sort things out. I love the fact that he's not stressing himself out with winning a medal in Paris and as a sports enthusiast I'm not as well. Medal or not, my admiration for him is not gonna change either way.

Good that people from badminton area.

Great interview

Please invite the world no. 1 men doubles badminton

[@josiahdelarosa6171]

This is very late, but I find this podcast very interesting and a great start to showcase not only Indian athletes, but other individuals who are great minded in different fields of their own expertise. Podcasts has become such a sigh of relief for many people to have real conversations about different topics, and I’m glad this episode is very high quality. The only suggestion or an obvious one is the introduction has this sort of echoing sound, Idk how to explain it. But other than that, great job and keep on grinding!

[@dhritimandas2553]

Big fan of this player....thanks for bringing on your show 🤩

[@theothersidewithdilip]

We love that you love him! Tell us who we should invite next...

[@aeshavasani3291]

You should invite the 1st olympic gold medallist of India, Mr. Abhinav Bindra, Saina Nehwal who was the pioneer of Indian badminton. I would like to know their routines and discipline from when they were teenagers. It would be a great help of you invite these people and talk about these points also.

[@theothersidewithdilip]

Done. work in progress 😉

[@dhritimandas2553]

[@kdeepakkr123]

Supremely insightful. Love when athletes talk to each other about sports and not random hosts with printed questions. Love this podcast

[@theothersidewithdilip]

[@muhdfaizazhari1743]

I'm think him,Kidambi,Verma,B.Sai and other give mindset inspiration and stay long in the rankings.

[@naspurisairam]

Invite Sindhu, Saina , srikant as well

[@akshitnain8688]

Chirag shetty and rankireddy next please

is there subtitle?

[@theothersidewithdilip]

You can use youtube's automated subtitles..

[@polite-uo4ck]

it's not accurate enough。。。indian english is not so easy to grasp😰@@theothersidewithdilip

[@mohokdas7629]

bring Lakshya sen

[@ThinkingMan-kw6kf]

This interviewer is much better than Ranveer, no unnecessary questions and faces . If an interviewer has to put on a “show” that means he either lacks real content or he is seeking attention. Well, both the things aren’t good. Just wanted to say this, ok bye 😊

[@theothersidewithdilip]

Thanks for the appreciation!

[@arunshukla9839]

The presenter is taking too long to frame a question…

[@arunthankappan6618]

Let him take his own time , this world is for everyone

[@paulmorais476]

​@@arunthankappan6618If you can't offer something constructive, it's time to rethink being a troll.

[@muradhussain1262]

Effects of reel

[@user-uw1br3cr8d]

Agreed. He is slow at asking questions and trying to be too detailed. its boring listen to speaking. Make your questions short and sweet. be brief. Viewers are more interested to hear the players answers. HS answered well and to the point. The interview must change his style of questioning. looks he is doing some kind of probing in an investigation on crimes.
