Hey Mumbai Mirror, we get that you're a tabloid. We get that numbers are important. We also understand why you seem to think that sleazy content gets more traction. But this was totally unnecessary and uncalled for.
Lakshmi Gopichand, who represented India in the 1996 Olympics, now trains shuttlers along with her husband, Pullela. Together, they run a prestigious badminton academy in Hyderabad that has brought India much glory, many medals and a whole lot to be proud of.
Talking to Mumbai Mirror, a mistake in retrospect, after Sindhu's iconic win, Lakshmi said: "The idea is to provide today's generation what we didn't have. Sindhu has what I didn't have back then - my husband as a coach".
While writing the headline, someone decided to do away with the "as a coach" bit.
How or why MM decided to take this quote and twist it till it resembled a line from a K-serial is unfathomable.
One can only assume there were no sober editors to be found when the paper was being sent to print.
Since you don't get it, Mumbai Mirror, we'd like to spell it out for you. Lakshmi is wholeheartedly backing her husband and his ability to turn amateurs into world class badminton players. And she is just as proud of Sindhu as the rest of us.
If you like to stay away from conflict areas, you might want to avoid Twitter today:

There is no shortage of desperados in our country especially media. & when it comes to sudhdh buffoonery, Times media group takes the cake. These shameless guys are the same idiots who would stoop to any lows just to get some readership or advertisement revenue.
On one hand we as citizen of a nation regret not getting many medals in international sports arena and then barely a month after rio Olympics ended, trying to undermine a guy and a champion that brought glory for a nation, through entirely personal efforts.
Sometimes i wonder, if we really deserve good people like Gopi and his wife.
As Galib once observed..
