PV Sindhu's "I Retire" social media post confuses fans; Here's the truth

Mumbai, Nov 2: Olympic medallist PV Sindhu on Monday left everyone shocked after she posted "Denmark Open was the final straw. I RETIRE," in her recent post on her social media handle.

 

 

 

She goes on to talk about how she wants to come clean with her feelings and tells fans that they may be confused while reading the message but will "have learnt about my point of view." She wrote about the coronavirus pandemic and how it has impacted her. However, the end of the message provides the twist.

 

 

"Today, I choose to retire from this current sense of unrest. I retire from this negativity, the constant fear, the uncertainty, I choose to retire from a complete lack of control over the known," Sindhu further wrote, hinting she was not retiring from the game but rather wanted people to focus on following the guidelines to tackle the coronavirus.

 

The message talks about staying careful. "Most importantly, I choose to retire from substandard hygiene standards and our lackadaisical attitude towards the virus. We must not digress; we need to be better prepared. We must defeat this virus together. The choices we make today will define our future and the future of the next generation. We cannot afford to let them down," Sindhu clarified.

 

Sindhu even said, she might have given a "mini-heart attack as unprecedented times requires unprecedented measures. I guess I needed to get you guys sit up and take notice". She concluded saying that when faced with difficulties, one must fight back twice as hard, as she will in training and in the Asia Open
