After Saina visited the sets of Dilwale, when the shoot for SRK's film was taking place at the shuttler's hometown Hyderabad, she had gifted him a racquet.

Well this is one of the unique moments when two greats from different fields are inspired by each other, and have the humility to acknowledge and respect the other's achievements.
