In an interview with NDTV India, PV Sindhu shared that she felt emotional after watching the clip, highlighting the significance of surrounding oneself with the right people.

Sindhu said, "I did get a bit emotional. There are ups and downs in life. You need to be careful. You need to have people that guide you in life." 

She further discussed the importance of investing for the future.

"I did see Vinod Kambli's video. It is important that you manage smartly. You have to invest in a way that is also useful for you in the future. That's why I say that you have to invest and take care of your money and not spend lavishly," said Sindhu.

The ace shutller further added, "You have to invest carefully. When you are a top athlete, you get amounts from people who support you. You have to be very careful. You need to pay your taxes. It is important. If you don't, you are in trouble. I am managed by my parents. My husband takes care of my investments. Till now, I haven't had any financial struggles, and I am grateful for that."

Following the viral clips of Vinod Kambli, members of the 1983 World Cup-winning team stepped in to offer their support. Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar recommended rehabilitation and expressed their willingness to assist the former India batter.

Recently, Kambli was admitted to a hospital due to a urinary tract infection (UTI) and cramps, but he was discharged a few days later.

Vinod Kambli, recently, attended the 50th anniversary celebration of Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where he interacted with Sunil Gavaskar and Prithvi Shaw.

During the event, Kambli was seen touching Sunil Gavaskar's feet, and the two shared a warm hug.
