New Delhi: Soon after shuttler PV Sindhu clinched a historic silver medal at Rio Olympics 2016, noted Indian author Shobhaa De took to Twitter to congratulate her for the feat.
De, who faced several backlash for her insulting tweet on Indian athletes earlier this month, has looked in damage control mode ever since.
Here is what she tweeted for the 21-year-old Hyderabadi girl.
P.V. Sindhu: 24 carat gold!!!! We love you.

But, fans have not yet forgotten her insensitive remark where she mocked Indian contingent for their poor show at the biggest sporting spectacle.
Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity.
