I was 18 when I was presented with the Arjuna Award. To say it feels really good would be an understatement. But I don't know how else to convey the feeling. I am grateful for having received this prestigious award at such a young age.
Win or lose, I always focus only on giving my 100%.
My parents have been volleyball players, and my dad is an Arjuna awardee in volleyball.
I train for six days in a week for eight to ten hours of practice per day.
Life has changed both on and off the court after the Rio Olympics medal. I have a lot of confidence on the court now and feel anything is possible. I also feel that I have improved my game. Off the court, I do get recognised more now.
Life has changed after Rio. Winning a silver medal was a huge moment for me. It has come with a lot of responsibilities.
