Manu Bhaker
Double Olympic medalist and ace shooter Manu Bhaker marked India's 79th Independence Day with a heartfelt gesture that went beyond the shooting range. In a moving tribute, Bhaker shared a video on her official Instagram handle, playing the tune of the national anthem on a violin.
In her post, she wrote: "An attempt to play the tune that is closest to my heart this Independence Day. Each time I represent India, I wish to stand on the podium and listen to this. Generally, we sit and play the violin, but this time subconsciously, we stood up while playing the National Anthem. It's the admiration for our nation that cannot be put into words. Jai Hind!"
