We are all like a family, say CWG gold medallists Mirabai, Jeremy & Achinta

While Jeremy and Achinta have been friends since 2014, Mirabai is “Mira didi” and “amma” to them.

After winning a gold each at the recently concluded Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, weightlifters Mirabai Chanu, Jeremy Lalrinnunga and Achinta Sheuli, who were seen supporting each other at the Games, tell us that the entire squad is like a family. 

In an interview with us right after clinching the gold in the men’s 67kg competition in Birmingham, Jeremy had said, “I will ask Mira didi ki kaise celebrate karna hai.” So, have they celebrated yet, we ask as we catch up with them in Delhi recently. “Abhi tak decide nahi kiya hai kya karna hai but we will decide,” shares Mirabai. “Bahut badi party hogi,” adds Jeremy with a smile.

‘I AM LIKE THEIR BADI DIDI, KUCH LOGON NE MUMMY BHI BULAYA HAI’
