Getting Khel Ratna is dream come true: Saina

Badminton ace Saina Nehwal said she was over the moon at being awarded the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna for her impressive performances that included winning the 2009 Indonesia Open.



"I am really happy. It's unbelievable, a dream come true for me," she said. "I have done well in the last two years and the three titles that I won recently have really boosted my confidence.

"I am now preparing for the World Championship and hope to win the title," she said. The World No 2, a semi-finalist at this year's All England Championships, is one of the contenders for the World Championships to be held in Paris next month.
