Indian badminton star Saina Nehwal is back defending herself against social media trolls. Over the last month or so, the shuttler has been engaging in a tug of war with fans over various topics.

Saina had made certain comments during the recently-concluded Paris Olympics that got her into a bit of trouble with fans on the internet.

During a podcast, Saina's husband Parupalli Kashyap brought up the topic, saying he read people think Saina was 'gifted' her bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Fuming at the suggestion, Saina gave a fiery reply to those making such comments. "During the Paris Olympics she had said something and in the comments (on social media) I was seeing people saying that she got gifted the bronze medal," Kashyap said during a chat with RJ Anmol and actor Amrita Rao.
