I think for her sacrifice only she is the top player in badminton now and won many games, so if she didn't do any sacrifice and control over mind, she is not becoming a popular in her field. And another thing is when we get a good guidelines from the guru we can achieve anything in the world and she is the best example for that.

[@tikiveer474]

Gopi and sindhu both of you are just fantastic. Gopi made her to sacrifice phone for 8 months and she became obedient to him which is really impossible for a guardian and for the new generation to sacrifice phone for a single hour.That's why now you are in this position. good luck for future.
