Saina Nehwal may not have bagged a medal at the on-going Olympics, but that doesn’t affect her repute of being a legendary badminton player.

Or does it?

Well, with P. V. Sindhu becoming the first Indian woman to enter an Olympic badminton final, maybe it does. At least as per this highly insensitive guy on twitter who recently posted this:

@NSaina dear saina…pack ur bags..we hav found someone who knows how to beat the best ones

— anshul sagar (@ImAnshS6)

Saina, who is currently undergoing a knee treatment in Hyderabad, answered in what seems to me the truest of sportsmanship spirit.

Sure thank u 😀Sindhu is doing really well 👍India is doing really https://t.co/7Sf2rztear

— Saina Nehwal (@NSaina)

But as may be obvious, the story didn’t end there. Twitteratis took it on themselves to virtually slaughter this tactless chap.

Grab some popcorn people! The show is about to begin:

@NSaina @ImAnshS6 she is always going to be Indias no 1 badminton player

@NSaina @ImAnshS6 What a classy reply by @NSaina to a nasty and unneccesary tweet.

@Anandraaj04 @NSaina she was the first to win an Olympic medal in badminton. These idiots have amnesia

— GItacharYa (@SSC1729)

She was first one to bring us laurels and will always be no.1 .. They both are our pride of our nation no comparison

@NSaina Dear Saina. India still loves you. Please don’t entertain such morons. They don’t deserve your time. @ImAnshS6

@NSaina @ImAnshS6 These are bloody Hypocrites !
Who only know how to critisize others by passing down Offensive Comments !

— soham upadhye (@UpadhyeSoham)

Interestingly, some iota of sense crawled back into that guy’s brain and he apologized for his remark.

@NSaina sorry for hurting u
..i really didnt mean it..i still love u…still a big fan

— anshul sagar (@ImAnshS6)

And Saina responded to his apology way more graciously than he deserved.

No problem my friend 👍all the best to u https://t.co/peMdJaJ4Rs

I would bid a ‘Get well soon’ to Saina, but I guess the guy who posted that nasty remark needs the wish more. After all, he has just been BURNT! #KThanksBye
