After winning the medal, Manu Bhaker said, “I read the Gita a lot. At that time, the only thing going on in my mind was to just do what you have to do. Do your best and leave everything else. You cannot control destiny, what the result will be.”

Manu further said- “Even in the Gita, Krishna told Arjun to focus on his goal and not on the result of his actions. At that time, this was going on in my mind, that just do your work and leave everything else.”

Manu Bhaker said that she reads the verses of Gita every day. It is Gita that inspires her to move forward and work hard. Manu said that she worked very hard to reach this point. Although this is a bronze medal. But I am happy with it. This was a big fight for me after the Tokyo Olympics, so I played this game with full energy.

Bhaker said- the final was stressful, I did not give up
After winning the medal, Bhaker said, “I tried my best till the last moment. I did not give up and kept trying continuously. The entire final was stressful. I knew I had to control myself. I would not have to do anything that I do not normally do. Just keep going at your pace, try your best and leave everything else there.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Manu Bhaker and congratulated her on her victory.

Before going to the Olympics, he said- I want India’s jersey

Before going to Paris Olympics, PM Narendra Modi met the players. During this, Manu Bhaker said- I am representing the country in Olympics for the second time. In 2018, there was the first edition of Khelo India Games. In that, I won the gold medal with a national record. Only after that I came in the TOPS core group. Since then, all I wanted was India’s jersey. I want to play for India.

Manu Bhaker’s mother said- she practiced shooting standing for 12 hours a day
Manu’s mother Sumedha said- “Manu has worked very hard to win the medal. Manu used to stand for 12 hours and work hard. I was always with Manu. I used to take care of Manu’s food and drink. I used to think about what to give Manu to eat. To prepare for the Olympics, Manu Bhaker did not participate in any party or celebration for 4 years. Her entire focus was only on the game. She did not even go to anyone’s birthday party.”

Sumedha said- ‘After the Olympics, we will give you all a surprise. I will not tell you all about it right now. In October-November, we will put up a show in front of you and Manu will present it. My only wish for you all is to stay connected with your children.’

I had a son first, I wanted a daughter
Manu’s mother Sumedha also revealed many interesting facts about Manu. Sumedha said, “I got married and a son came to my house, but I had a deep desire to have a daughter. I used to teach OT in Bhiwani College.

When I was pregnant, I used to pray to God to give me a daughter. When my son was small, I used to dress him in daughter’s clothes. I wanted Lakshmi in my house. Because when there is a daughter in the house, the house becomes cheerful. Whenever Manu goes out, the son is at home, the husband is at home, but there is no joy in the house. When both the son and the daughter are at home, there is so much happiness in the house, we keep laughing the whole day. That is why every house must have a daughter”.

Father said- this is just the beginning
Father Ravi Kishan Bhaker said that “My society members are happier than me. The whole country is happy that Manu has started the journey of winning medals in Olympics and Manu still has events left. Manu’s morale is high after joining with Jaipal Rana. Manu’s success will boost the morale of those children who are working hard in shooting. 20 thousand children from Haryana alone are working hard in shooting”.

Shooter Rajyavardhan Chauhan congratulated Manu Bhaker on her victory.

Manu’s success will encourage other players: Rathore
Shooter Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, who won the country’s first Olympic medal in shooting, said that winning a medal on the second day of the opening ceremony is a very auspicious sign. Due to this, the morale of all the players will be high.

There will be a positivity. Manu Bhaker, who has won the bronze medal in 10 meter shooting, congratulations from my side. The hard work of many years has paid off. Manu’s family must have made so many compromises, the family must have worked hard, I congratulate the family as well”.
