It has been 18 years since she made her debut for the Indian women’s team at the age of 13. So far I have played in 9 Olympiads. It has been a dream to stand on the medal podium with the Indian team. It has been fulfilled this time.

This is emotional as I have achieved it from 9 months pregnant. Since my doctor told me that I can play in the Olympics if I am in good health as the Olympiad is being held in India, I worked hard to participate in the Olympiad and win a medal. I took every step of my life to make this possible. No baby showers, no parties, no celebrations…all these I decided after winning the medal. I worked hard every day to play well. I’ve been waiting for this moment for the past few months and finally made it. He said that the Indian women’s team has won a medal for the first time in the Olympiad.
