In a conversation with Keshav Reddy and Veena Reddy of the GVK family, the discussion ranged from light-hearted moments to serious takeaways.

Asked whether resisting ice cream was tougher than winning an Olympic medal, Sindhu laughed before turning reflective: “Winning medals is tough, but saying no to ice cream can feel tougher. At the end of the day, it’s discipline, recovery, and preventive care that keeps me in the game. Consistency is what matters most, and prevention of injuries and illness keeps you there for longer.”
