After Olympics Loss, Lakshya Sen Reveals Deepika Padukone Called Him And "She Said..."

Lakshya Sen was India's best-performing badminton star at the Paris Olympics 2024. He became the first Indian male shuttler to enter the semi-final of an Olympics. However, he missed the medal by a whisker. He went down to Viktor Axelsen in the semi-final and then also lost the bronze medal match to Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia. Those two results broke a billion hearts who were rooting for the rising star.. "After the match (semi-finals), I was devastated. It's going to hurt for a while that I couldn't give India the medal at this Olympics. I knew I was going to face Viktor Axelsen in the match and the way I had prepared, things were fine. Overall, I had the right tactics. I had the right approach. At the crucial stages I could have been a little more clinical. Now that I sit back and think, I know there are some things that I could have done better. Everything was fine, but towards the end, I wasn't able to get there," Lakshya said in a chat with Humans of Bombay.
