I am hurt that some people criticise very harshly without even realising the hardships which we go through.
The ultimate dream of an athlete is to compete in the Olympics. For us athletes, that is the zenith. There is nothing beyond that.
My role model was Sachin Tendulkar as a kid. I feel very proud that I have been able to follow his footsteps and become a UNICEF ambassador like him.
I am a positive person, and I want to look ahead in life and do something for my parents and the country.
My paternal uncle and aunt have jobs, and they are the ones who feed the family with a regular income.
We are human beings, at the end of the day. Success and failure are a part and parcel of our life.
