Star Indian shuttler PV Sindhu's mother P Vijaya today expressed happiness over her daughter winning the silver medal in the 18th Asian Games.

Olympic medallist Sindhu today lost 13-21 16-21 to Chinese Taipei's world no 1 Tai Tzu-Ying in just 34 minutes to claim India's first badminton silver at the Asian Games.

"On the whole, it's good. It's ok. One should win and one should lose (on Sindhu losing in the finals of women's singles)," Vijaya told PTI here.

It was Sindhu's third major final defeat this year, having lost the summit clashes at Commonwealth Games and World Championship as well.

Vijaya said: "There is no such pressure. Reaching the finals is a great thing. Finals is played with the top most players. They (players) get used to such pressure. Each and every match is important."
