Tokyo Olympics 2020: Sindhu awaits ice cream with PM Modi after second Olympic medal | Tokyo Olympics News – Times of India
Sindhu’s father PV Ramana, a former volleyball player, said the badminton superstar will meet the Prime Minister on her return on Tuesday.
“He had said, ‘you go, we will have ice cream when you come back,’ so she will now definitely go and have ice cream with the Prime Minister,” Ramana was quoted as saying.
