On Monday morning, amidst all the buzz of badminton champion PV Sindhu returning home from the Rio Olympics, Mumbai Mirror jabbed a pin right into all the giddy-hearted enthusiasm with one rather unfortunate headline.

The story about an interview with PVV Lakshmi, Sindhu’s coach’s wife, was headlined: “Sindhu Has What I Didn’t Have – My Husband”.



Pray, what could that mean? Turns out what she really meant was that Sindhu’s lucky to have a coach like Gopichand.

You see, Lakshmi used to be a badminton player herself, and understands what an athlete requires to succeed in the field – a coach as dedicated as her husband.

The misleading headline left Twitterati enraged. Here’s what they had to say.
