There's one sport that I don't hear a lot about in regards to the professional circuit. That sport is badminton. The last time I heard anyone talk about badminton was in highschool. I figured no one played it after that, but apparently I'm wrong. Prakash Padukone is a former badminton player. He made history by winning the 1980 All England Championship. It was a historic event because he was the first Indian to do so.
His daughter, Deepika Padukone is a famous Bollywood star and model. Just like her father, she can't help but make history. She was recently named Time's 100 most influential people in the world. If you'd like to see her act, but don't have access to Bollywood films, check her out in the American movie, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.
