00:00I've worked hard for so many years and I've achieved a level here.

00:04I feel proud. I even cry when I see India's flag fluttering in another country.

00:13Actually, we've started this time so we won't stop.

00:16Like shooters, Indian shooting and everyone has supported a lot.

00:20How did you win for India?

00:22Tell us what this medal means to you, the medal you've won for the country.

00:27First of all, I'd like to congratulate Manu and Sarbjeet because they've started the medal this time.

00:37Winning an Olympic medal is the dream of every athlete.

00:43I've worked hard for so many years and I've achieved a level here.

00:49After this, I'll do hard work and I'll be proud in the next Olympics.

00:57Tell us about your process.

00:59You finished 7th in the first round and you were in 6th position in the first round.

01:07You reached the podium from there.

01:09Tell us about that journey.

01:11How did you keep your composure and keep shooting despite that?

01:18I didn't look at the scoreboard.

01:20I didn't look at my rank.

01:24I just focused on my procedure and my follow through.

01:30I focused on my breathing and my body should be calm.

01:36That brought me to this level.

01:41Like you said, shooters did a great job this time.

01:45Like you said, Manu and Sarbjeet did a great job.

01:48They opened the floodgates and now the medal is being rained on.

01:50Do you think you'll be able to do as well as you did in the last two Olympics?

01:58We started this time and we won't stop.

02:03Shooters, Indian shooting and everyone has supported a lot for shooting.

02:08Federation, Sai, their families, athletes, support staff.

02:13Everyone has supported the shooting team and the athletes.

02:15So, it's their hard work also and not only athletes' hard work.

02:21A lot of people also work hard for it.

02:23So, we thank you to all India and everyone.

02:27When you climbed the podium for the country and the national flag was going up,

02:31describe that feeling as an Indian, as a Bharatiya.

02:33Obviously, it's a proud feeling.

02:36I also shed tears when we wave the Indian flag in another country.

02:43And when our national anthem is played,

02:47no matter what the rank is, when the flag goes up,

02:52there is a strange feeling inside.

02:55Like we made India proud.

02:57Your story is very similar to that of great Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

03:00You started as a T.C. and he also started as a T.C.

03:03You flew to Kharagpur and Pune.

03:05So, tell us about that journey.

03:07You came from there and won a medal for the country.

03:09Explain this whole journey.

03:11Who were your role models who helped you get into shooting?

03:14Shooting...

03:16My father had enrolled me in sports since childhood.

03:22And Krita Prabodhini, which is a scheme of the Maharashtra government,

03:26through that I got into shooting.

03:28And because of that, the support of the Maharashtra government,

03:33and after that, I did shooting there for 6 years.

03:38And I played in the national and international competitions.

03:41And after that, as my interest in shooting increased,

03:46because I love shooting,

03:48and because of that, I just enjoy the shooting whenever I go on the range.

03:52And when the ma'am tells me to take rest,

03:57I can't resist taking rest.

04:00So, I can take only one day or two days rest.

04:02And after that, I feel like going on the range.

04:08Not even for the shooting, but just to go there and talk to my friends,

04:13spend some time there, stay there.

04:15It's like second home to me at this time.

04:18Will you dedicate it to someone?

04:20India, my family, and my supporting staff, everyone.

04:24Like everyone, yeah.
