In a refreshing moment captured on social media, doubleOlympic bronze medalist Manu Bhaker was spotted dancing to the popular Bollywood song Kala Chashma from the movie Baar Baar Dekho at a felicitation ceremony in Chennai.
Bhaker's energy and friendliness are clear in the video.
The 22-year-old shooter's Olympic journey was nothing short of remarkable. She became the first athlete in Independent India to win two individual medals at the same Olympics, clinching bronze in the women's 10m air pistol and mixed team events.
As a gentle reminder to herself and fans of the struggles she's endured to become a double Olympic medallist, Manu posted a photo of her younger self practising at a training range merged with a picture of her with two Olympic medals.
'How it started vs how it's going, and Grateful for everything in between,' she captioned the photo.
On Tuesday, she was felicitated by the Velammal Nexus School in Chennai for her twin medals in Paris.
