00:00From humble beginnings to winning an Olympic gold and finally having an event named after you,
00:04how does it feel is the first question.
00:06Before you answer that, can you please spill the beans for everyone to know officially what is going on?
00:12First of all, I'll tell you that this is a very long dream.

00:31That Indian people come to such events and the world-class athletes compete in India and we compete in them.
00:39And our people will play.
00:40So I've listened to this interview a few times, but it's finally going to be able to see what happens.
