Star shuttler Saina Nehwal will donate Rs 2 lakh for the people affected by the heavy rains and flood in Tamil Nadu.
"Saina would like to donate Rs two lakh to the victims of rains in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. I am going to make it happen," Saina's father Harvir Singh said on Friday.
Saina, currently ranked number two in BWF world rankings, is training under coach Vimal Kumar in Bangalore.
Unprecedented heavy rains over the last several days have led to widespread devastation in Chennai and its neighbouring districts in Tamil Nadu.
