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