MANU BHAKER

 Sumedha Bhaker, mother of Manu Bhaker, winner of two Paris  Olymipics 2024 Bronze medals in shooting.

"I want to tell all parents to leave their kids alone and give them freedom. Let them pursue what they want. Just support them. You should not push them too much.

Manu had it inside her. That crazy obsession to do well. That quality helped her to do well in her game. 

Mothers should be there for their daughters and should help them flourish. They have a lot of potential but should be left free."

Sumedha had left her passion, teaching, to be with her daughter and accompany her. She had relocated to Faridabad, Haryana to be close to the shooting range and be with Manu.

She concludes, " I believe if a mother accompanies her daughter it gives her a lot of confidence."
