Saina Nehwal - I sacrificed everything for a single Olympic medal, and then.... | Raw & Real

Описание: Welcome to PGX: Raw & Real

PGX: Raw & Real is simple. I sit with people who’ve lived through something and/or made it big.

This isn’t meant to be inspiration or a template for life (for that, you can check out PGX Ideas).
This space is different. It’s their story, as they experienced it.
