New Delhi: Renowned Film star Amitabh Bachchan encouraged Indian star shuttler, P.V. Sindhu, after she lost to Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi in the women’s singles final of the season-ending BWF World Superseries Finals. The ‘Shahenshah’ of Bollywood said that one loss will strengthen the shuttler more.

“P.V. Sindhu, you played a fighting game despite ill health. Never mind. We are with you. One loss will strengthen you more. Proud of you,” Amitabh tweeted on Sunday night.

Rio Olympics silver medallist Sindhu lost a hard-fought battle 21-15, 12-21, 19-21 in an hour and 34 minutes to world No.2 Yamaguchi on Sunday. Sindhu was eyeing to become the first Indian to win the Dubai World Super Series title. The 22-year-old came into the finals with an unbeaten run on her back, but was eventually undone by the Japanese at the Hamdan Sports Complex in Dubai.

Earlier, the Hyderabad shuttler was seen on the hot seat of popular game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC), hosted by Amitabh, who called it “an honour and a moment of great pride” to be in Sindhu’s company. On the acting front, Big B currently has two films in his kitty — “Thugs Of Hindostan” and “102 Not Out”. (With IANS inputs)
