PV Sindhu praises viral langur mimicry video for BWF Worlds

Some big badminton games are coming to Delhi, India, next week.

To get ready, the people in charge wanted to keep animals away from the event.

In India, one clever way to scare off monkeys is to copy the sounds and moves of langur monkeys, their natural enemies.

A performer who does langur mimicry made a video of this.

The video went viral, which means lots and lots of people watched and shared it.

Many people laughed at the funny idea.

A famous Indian badminton player named PV Sindhu saw the video too.

She said you can laugh at the solution, but you have to love the effort.

She explained that many people work behind the scenes to get India ready to welcome the world.

She said India's ways may be uniquely Indian, but so are its warmth, spirit, and hospitality.
