He was awarded the Arjuna award in 1972 and the Padma Shri in 1982 by the Government of India.

Background and early life

Padukone was born on 10 June 1955[3] in Padukone village near Kundapura, Udupi. His surname, Padukone, is the name of the village Padukone from where his family originates.{{cn|date=February 2018}}

Padukone got married to Ujjala, a match arranged by their parents in the Indian Hindu system. They have two daughters - Deepika Padukone, a Bollywood actress, and Anisha Padukone, a golfer.[4] Padukone, his wife and younger daughter Anisha reside in Bangalore, whereas Deepika lives and works in Mumbai.

Prakash Padukone's life story has been chronicled in the biography 'Touch Play', by Dev S. Sukumar. The book is only the second biography of any badminton player.

Career

Prakash was initiated into the game by his father Ramesh Padukone, who was the Secretary of the "Mysore Badminton Association" for many years.

Padukone's first official tournament was the Karnataka state junior championship in 1962. Though he lost in the very first round, two years later he managed to win the state junior title. He changed his playing style into a more aggressive style in 1971, and won the Indian national junior title in 1972. He also won the senior title the same year. He won the National title consecutively for the next seven years. In 1978, he won his first major international title, the men's singles gold medal at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Canada.[5] In 1979, he won the "Evening of Champions" at the Royal Albert Hall, London.

In 1980, he won the Danish Open, the Swedish Open and became the first Indian to win the men's singles title at the All England Championship with a victory over Indonesian rival Liem Swie King. He spent much of his international career training in Denmark, and developed close friendships with European players such as Morten Frost.[6]
