  1. Whoever has put this picture...this is not the Badminton player Sayali Gokhale. You have literally stolen my picture from Facebook and put it on this website. Please remove this picture immediately else I would seriously have to do something about this indecent behavior. You CANNOT just pick others pictures from their private albums and put them where you want!
