The 24-year-old further expressed that she had been preparing for such a long time and said thanks to her parents, mentors, and trainer for the triumph.

The Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Kiren Rijiju on Monday met shuttler PV Sindhu and said the badminton star has made the country pleased by turning into the first Indian to win gold at BWF World Championships.

"Honoured @Pvsindhu1 who created history and made India proud by winning the World Badminton Championship for the first time! My best wishes to her in her pursuit to bring more glory to India," Rijiju tweeted.

Sindhu turned into the first Indian to win a World Championships gold medal by vanquishing Japan's Nozomi Okuhara 21-7, 21-7 in the finals of the competition on Sunday.

After her success, Sindhu landed in India early Tuesday morning and was seen expressing gratitude toward fans for their help and said that she wished to win "many more medals for the country."

"I wish I'll get many more medals for this country. I would like to thank all my fans. It is because of their blessings and love that I am here today," she told ANI at the Indira Gandhi International Airport.

"A great moment for me. I am really very proud to be an Indian,"  she included.

On Monday, she took to Twitter to express her feelings and emotions after accomplishing the accomplishment and said "I could not hold back my tears when I saw the Indian flag and heard the National anthem playing. Words can't express my feelings about yesterday's win at the World Championship," she tweeted.
