World No.1 Saina Nehwal is back in India after playing two back-to-back tournaments- the Badminton World Championships and the Japan Open Superseries after that. On Wednesday, the 25-year-old shuttler was involved in a conversation with Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, who incidentally is also in Hyderabad at the moment, shooting for a movie.
It was Saina who initiated the conversation, by putting forth a request to the Khan, asking if she could meet the star. The Bollywood star was more than happy to meet her and asked her to fix a time when she was free.

Ecstatic over his response, Saina replied asking if they could meet the next day to which Khan responded saying they could decide over the time and date that night.
