00:00Sir, my name is Mehak Chauhan. I am from Uttarkashi.
00:04Mehak, what is the main reason for choosing rugby?
00:07Because it is a very contagious game.
00:09Yes.
00:10Sir, I did not know what a rugby game is.
00:13I came here because of my sport.
00:16I was a national level athlete.
00:18Someone told me about rugby.
00:21That rugby is a game.
00:22So I went to give a trial.
00:24There was not much here in Dehradun.
