BENGALURU:
In an interview with HT, the world No.6 spoke about struggling with motivation, training without engines for the tournament and her seven-year-old daughter winning a gold medal the same day.
Excerpts:

I wanted to prove what I could achieve. So, I was very ambitious before the tournament and trained hard for the entire month.
