And if I get to meet you after my success, then I will also eat ice cream with you.
00:05
So, the Phogat family feeds their daughters with wheat flour.
00:12
I am asking such questions that all your family members are laughing inside you.
00:22
I remember that Mr. Gopichand had said in an interview that he had taken your phone before the Rio Olympics.
00:30
He didn't even allow you to eat ice cream.
00:33
Are you still eating ice cream and fasting or have you got a holiday?
00:38
Sir, obviously, I control my diet a little bit.
00:41
Because diet is very important for an athlete.
00:45
And now there is the Olympics, so I am preparing.
00:50
So, obviously, I will control my diet a little bit.
00:52
So, I don't eat as much ice cream, sir.
00:55
Mr. Sindhu, your parents have sacrificed a lot to make you a world champion.
01:00
They have done their job.
01:02
Now it's your turn.
01:04
You work very hard.
01:06
And I believe that you will definitely succeed this time too.
01:11
And if I get to meet you after my success, then I will also eat ice cream with you.
01:25
Okay, Saurabh, tell me this.
01:27
Your friends, your companions come to you and want to click a selfie with you.
01:36
What do you think?
01:38
You don't do it before, right?
01:41
No, when I go home, my friends come to my village and take a selfie.
01:47
They take a selfie with my pistols.
01:50
I like it a lot.
01:55
Maneka, I was told that you are also very fond of dancing.
02:02
Does the hobby of dancing work as a stress buster for you?
02:08
Yes, sir.
02:10
As some people say, listening to music and dancing.
02:14
So my dancing works as a stress buster.
02:18
Whenever I go to a tournament or when I have free time,
02:22
I come to my room and dance.
02:26
Because I feel good and I feel confident.
02:30
I am asking such questions that your family members are laughing inside you.
02:40
When someone is fit and fit,
02:43
then in our country they say,
02:45
what kind of flour do you eat?
02:49
So what kind of flour does the Phogat family feed their daughters?
02:57
We eat the flour from our village.
03:06
We feed cows milk and butter.
03:10
How is your partnership with Ankita Raini going in the Olympics?
03:21
How are you both preparing?
03:24
Ankita is a young player.
03:28
She is playing very well.
03:31
I am very excited to play with her.
03:34
We are looking forward to going to the Olympics.
03:37
My fourth Olympics and her first Olympics.
03:40
I need young players at my age.
03:45
So I think she can provide.
03:48
Today we had a virtual conversation.
03:52
But after coming back,
03:54
I promise you,
03:56
I will definitely find time and meet you all.
