Pusarla Venkata Sindhu is a very public and recognisable person. Between 2013 and 2020, she became a Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri awardee and was conferred with the nation’s highest sports honours, the Arjuna Award and the Khel Ratna. Away from the courts, media glare and the weight of a nation’s expectations, she embodies simplicity. At home on a Saturday evening, the poster girl for Indian badminton is simply Sindhu. In our special fashion issue, PV speaks candidly on sacrifice, sexism, and the future of Indian sport. PV is wearing a knit co-rd set by @lovebirds.studio; sterling silver stud earrings, opal oval necklace, gold -plated brass bangles, gold-plated brass ring all by @shoplune Photograph: @farhanhussain at Feat Artists Fashion Director: Pasham Alwani Words: @sydneydxb Hair and Make up: @kritikagill at Feat Artists Assisted by (styling): Nishtha Parwani #PVSindhu #GraziaIndia #Magazine #MagazineCover #Badminton #Athlete #Sindhu #SeptemberCover
