Big B on Sunday night tweeted: "P.V. Sindhu wins India SS title. Huge congratulations! Sweet revenge, after the Olympic loss but this one more convincing!"
 
Shah Rukh Khan, who is currently busy filming filmmaker Imtiaz Ali's film, which is tentatively titled "The Ring", thanked Sindhu for making the country proud.
