This wasn't the first time the 33-year-old has taken on a troll. Jwala is among the few Indian athletes who speaks her mind and doesn't shy away from taking a position on issues that make headlines.
Earlier in the year, Gutta was very vocal in her support for Delhi University student Gurmehar Kaur, who was targeted by trolls on social media for her call for peace between India and Pakistan. Jwala, one of India's most experienced and successful doubles players, expressed her anguish at the way Gurmehar has been hounded on social media for her stance. She also lamented the fact that quite a few sportsperson had lashed out at the student 'without knowing the context of the message'.
