Earlier this year, Nehwal also stepped onto the field of politics and joined the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP). Nevertheless, Nehwal is still an active player and will be aiming to add many more titles in her cabinet. The ongoing year is also crucial for Nehwal as the Tokyo Olympics are scheduled to take place in June and the 30-year old will aim to leave a mark there too.
