Mamata Banerjee, chief minister of West Bengal, India, who is known for her passion for painting and writing poetry, stunned many with her skills in the game of badminton.
The Trinamool Congress leader posted a video on Facebook of her playing badminton in a double's match. 
The video which went viral on social media shows the 63-year-old minister draped in her signature white sari, and a green shawl, rallying with her opponent without missing a shot.
The hearty game was played in Birbhum district of West Bengal where the minister recently attended the Jangalmahal Cup and Rangamati Sports Festival, reported Indian Express. 
Earlier, last year whilst on a 10-day trip to Germany and Italy to secure foreign investment in the state, Banerjee flaunted her accordion playing skills in Germany. A video of her playing the famous tune of 'Amra korbo joy' or 'Hum honge kamiyab' on an accordion in the German street by the Main river, had also gone viral.
