Bhaker's message on X came a day after the absence of her name among those recommended for the award led to a major furore.

Bhaker, 22, became the first athlete in post-Independence India to win two medals in an Olympics after she took bronze in the 10m air pistol women's and mixed team competitions in Paris.
