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.
