You must be living under the rock if you do not know that Sakshi Malik became the first player to win us a medal in Rio Olympics 2016, and P.V.Sindhu has now created history by entering the finals of Badminton, to assure a silver, as she now aims for gold. Dipa Karmakar’s stint, Sakshi’s ten years of hard work paying off, and Sindhu’s perseverance, have all made us so proud, that a thousand happy bubbles are bursting inside the hearts of all the Indians, finally united in cheering for these rising sportstars.

Virendar Sehwag – at his BEST
If we rewind our memory back to Shoba De’s cheap and discouraging comment she had tweeted about Indian athletes, there she got now a really hit on her face from none other than cricketer Virendar Sehwag .

Sorabh Pant
Another tweet that took internet to the storm was Sorabh Pant’s(acclaimed comedian) point for the latest released movie ‘Sultan’. We agree on what he got to say –
Sequel to #Sultan, inspired by #SakshiMalik.
India's best wrestler tells her husband to wear a condom.
Wins a Bronze.
Husband applauds.— Sorabh Pant (@hankypanty) August 18, 2016
