00:00Congratulations, you've won two medals in a day, one silver and one gold.

00:03So, how is it feeling?

00:06I can't tell you how I'm feeling.

00:10How many rasgullas do you want to eat?

00:12No, I don't like sweets at all.

00:14I like spicy food.

00:16So, what do you want to eat?

00:18Nothing right now. I just can't change my mind.

00:22I don't want to change my mind. I just want to follow my diet.

00:24Okay.

00:25I want to go to Mumbai and eat Pani Puri.

00:27Pani Puri.

00:28I love that.

00:29Okay. So, you train for Reliance.

00:32So, tell us a little bit about that.

00:34How is it there? What is the culture like?

00:36Yes. So, I've been a sponsor of Reliance since 2021.

00:40Earlier, I used to train in Bhubaneswar.

00:42Now, I have a center in Mumbai.

00:44So, everyone helps me a lot.

00:46They support me.

00:47And there are all the staff there who are needed by an athlete.

00:51So, because of that, the athlete performs well.

00:54So, everything is there.

00:56I'm very blessed.

00:59Talking about Reliance, you're getting a chance to train with Jyoti Yara there.

01:04And because of that, we saw you in the hurdles today.

01:07We saw a very good competition between second and third.

01:10Yes, in heat.

01:11So, what tips did you get from talking to Jyoti?

01:15Did you get any guidance?

01:16See, sister always says that whatever you feel comfortable doing, do that.

01:20Mindset.

01:22You have to be calm.

01:23Because you have to have a good time in heat.

01:25I had a PB in heat as well.

01:26So, after that, it takes a lot of energy.

01:35So, I don't want to do that.

01:36The coach also told me to be calm and think about what I have to do.

01:40And fight.

01:41So, I did that.

01:42To start, to end.

01:44If we talk about long jump, there is a good competition in the country.

01:48There are a lot of players who were missing this tournament.

01:53So, if they were there, what do you think?

01:55How much better could you have done in this competition?

01:58Actually, there are a lot of competitors.

02:00And we are medallists.

02:02So, we have a good push.

02:04And we all encourage each other.

02:07But okay, they are in off-season.

02:09But I do long jump.

02:11I don't do long jump training.

02:13But I do jump for fun.

02:16Wow.

02:18And you are also a heptathlete.

02:20Tell us a little about that.

02:21Because Sapna Burman has done a very good performance from Bengal.

02:24Yes.

02:25So, how?

02:26So, there are three people from Bengal.

02:28There are two Olympians.

02:30Shoma Ma'am and Sushmita Ma'am.

02:32Then Sapna Didi.

02:34Everyone tells me to do it.

02:36I have just started.

02:37So, it will be good.

02:39Purnima Didi also says that.

02:41It is very difficult.

02:42You have to give some time.

02:44You have to be serious.

02:45So, I am doing that.

02:46And I am ready.

02:48Which event do you enjoy the most?

02:52I have been playing long jump for a long time.

02:55I used to like long jump.

02:57But now I have started doing heptathletics.

02:59Because there are a lot of events.

03:01I enjoy it.

03:02Because everything is different and technical.

03:04Okay.

03:05Because I am new, I learn from other people.

03:08How they do it.

03:09So, I like it.

03:12If we talk about this year's challenges.

03:16What are your targets for this year?

03:19In every competition, I have to do my best.

03:24I have to break my own race.

03:26No competition with anyone.

03:28Just give your best.

03:30How much you can.

03:31For which event are you focusing now?

03:35Is it Fed Cup?

03:36Yes, it is in Fed Cup.

03:37I hope I will recover.

03:38Because I have a shoulder injury.

03:40Since last 8-9 months, I have a problem with my shoulder.

03:44That's why I did Open National.

03:46To qualify for next National.

03:49Hopefully, I will do heptathletics in Fed Cup.

03:54Okay.

03:55Last question.

03:56Who do you idolize?

03:57Who is your idol in athletics?

03:59Or if there is no one, it's okay.

04:01I am myself.

04:03Okay.

04:04Because I struggled a lot.

04:06From 15th grade to 13th grade.

04:10In 4 years.

04:12It was too hard for me.

04:14I knew that my technique was wrong.

04:17I wanted to improve in everything.

04:19So, I worked on myself.

04:22And I get inspired by myself.

04:24I watch my videos.

04:26How were you?

04:28How are you now?

04:29Don't give up.

04:31You can do more.

04:32I get a lot of inspiration from my mom.

04:35She also struggled a lot.

04:37Looking at her, I am very single-minded.

04:42Okay.

04:43Last question.

04:44Adding to what your mom said.

04:46How is the sports infrastructure in Hooghly?

04:49And how are other kids coming?

04:52What do you think?

04:53I think people of Bengal are very talented.

04:56Whether you are a singer, dancer, athletics or any sports.

04:59But there is no support.

05:01You don't get the facility.

05:03You get it in Odisha, Maharashtra, Telangana and other states.

05:07I think if you get the facility.

05:10You will get a lot of kids from every corner.

05:13Because you can't struggle and play for a long time.

05:16You need the facility every day.
