As per media reports, she has been in London for at least 10 days now and is expected to remain there for the next two-three months.
There were some news reports that Sindhu left the country may be due to tensions with her family. However, Sindhu quashed the rumors and tweeted that “I have come here (London) with the consent of my parents and absolutely they were no family rifts in this regard.”
“Why will I have problems/issues with my parents who have sacrificed their lives for my sake. Mine is a very close knitted family and they will always support me. I am in touch with my family members everyday,” Sindhu added in a tweet.
