Bollywood sensation Ranveer Singh on Monday paused for a minute to praise his father-in-law, badminton legend Prakash Padukone, who re-defined the game of badminton by turning into the first one of this nation to win the popular All England Open 40 years ago.
Our Gully Boy also shared a couple of pictures of father-in-law Prakash Padukone from the title. At 24 years old, Prakash Padukone had won by outperforming two-time defending champion Liem Swie King of Indonesia 15-3, 15-10 at Wembley Stadium on March 23, 1980. Have a look at the post below:
Apart from this, daughter Deepika also wrote an adorable and emotional note for father Prakash Padukone and called his commitment to the game “immeasurable”.
