This is a photograph that is sure to set off a billion smiles.

When champions meet, it is only right that we, the fans, take notice and share they the champs have a photo op. 

And, so when India's medal winners at the Rio Olympics Sakshi Malik and PV Sindhu ran into each other in Rio, it was only right for the former to post the picture on Twitter. 

"Ran into the super awesome @Pvsindhu1 and the Legend P Gopichand! True Champions!," Sakshi tweeted alongside the photograph.

This is not the first time that Sakshi has been effusive in her praise and vocal in her support towards her compatriot. 

Before and after Sindhu's big final against Carolina Marin, Sakshi posted her wishes to the badminton Olympic silver-medallist.

"All the best @Pvsindhu1! Go for Gold! We are all rooting for you! #JeetoRio," read Sakshi's tweet before the match.

Sakshi followed that with this gem: "@Pvsindhu1 you were fantastic! Fought till the end! Congratulations on the Silver medal and thank you for all the joy you have given us!"

It's good to see such camaraderie between India's Super Girls!
