00:02 Before starting badminton, I was a professional chess player.
00:18 My parents used to tell me, like, except studies,
00:20 there should be an extra curricular for you like that.
00:22 So I went into the chess.
00:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:27 After playing chess, I told my father that,
00:30 can I have a physical game?
00:32 So he told, like, it is your wish.
00:33 So you can just choose your game.
00:35 So I started playing badminton.
00:38 Till seventh standard, I was regular.
00:40 But after that, I used to go for only exams.
00:43 My father used to tell, your future is different from us.
00:46 If you achieve in this, there is a very big future for you.

01:06 Nikhil and Twinkle, their parents
01:13 moved all the way from Tamil Nadu.
01:15 So they moved to Bangalore.
01:16 They took up a house.
01:17 Down the line, they were not able to meet the expenses.
01:22 So the mother took up a teaching job.
01:24 A lot of sacrifice.
01:25 So we came here before two years.
