Saina Nehwal didn't know about javelin until Neeraj Chopra won the Olympics.

On X , users called saina nehwal the "Kangana Ranaut of sports India" in response to her comment on the punishment meted out to Saina Nehwal. He didn't know about javelin as a sport until Neeraj Chopra won gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
When Neeraj was winning, that's how I knew this game was still being played. You get knowledge just by seeing, right? If you don't see it, how do you know it? I didn't know about spears. During an interview, Nehwal told reporter Shubhankar Mishra, "When Neeraj Chopra started acting, he became an Olympian. That's when I thought to myself, game like that because the games have done it outside, I didn't know who Prakash was." The 34-year-old athlete also admitted that he met Prakash Padukone, the former badminton player and father of actress deepika Padukone, after taking up badminton. I don't want to know, but you are so busy in your workplace, how much time do you have to go deeply into something else. Otherwise, google everything to no end. If you're perfect in your field, that's enough."

The video quickly went viral on social media, with many shocked by Nehwal's lack of skill with the javelin. I didn't know javelin was an Olympic sport until Neeraj Chopra won a medal. Saina Nehwal. "The whole of india only knew saina nehwal because her name was similar to tennis player Sania Mirza."
Another said: "It's amazing how Saina Nehwal's player looks so ignorant about the javelin!"

"Saina Nehwal always said she didn't know there was a sport called javelin in India. Did she actually say that?" said another user X. "Unbelievable," wrote a fourth individual.

Nehwal, a world number one badminton player, is a padma shri and Padma bhushan recipient. He joined the bharatiya janata party (BJP) in 2020 ahead of the delhi elections.
