India's badminton star, Saina Nehwal is one of the most active shuttlers in the country on social media. Saina Nehwal had recently taken to photo sharing platform Instagram to post a picture to her 1.4 million followers. Saina was accompanied by none other than Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra, Saina's father Harvir and mother Usha, ahead of the release of her biopic. "Looking forward...#sainanehwalbiopic," Saina captioned the picture.

Parineeti Chopra will be seen playing the part of Saina Nehwal in the film which is directed by Amole Gupte of Stanley ka Dabba fame.

Earlier in October, Saina Nehwal and her husband Parupalli Kashyap pulled out of the Denmark Open Super 750 tournament, which restarted the international calendar at Odense from October 13.

I decided that I will start the season from January only with the Asian tour," Saina, the London Olympics bronze-medallist, said.
