During the annual event of Basavatarakam Hospital in Hyderabad, its Chairman, Nandamuri Balakrishna, shared his affinity for sports, recalling his involvement in various athletic events since childhood. The multifaceted personality and accomplished actor-turned-politician also humorously interacted with badminton star PV Sindhu, who was present at the event. Balakrishna lauded Sindhu's world-class abilities and her significant contributions to the nation. With his signature joviality, he revealed his multiple attempts to coax Sindhu into a friendly badminton match. However, Sindhu has persistently declined his invitations, to which Balakrishna jokingly attributed to her fear of defeat against him. In his address, Balakrishna also offered some insights into his professional choice. Despite his love for sports, he eventually gravitated towards acting, viewing it as a hereditary gift passed down from his father, the legendary actor NT Rama Rao.
