In an emotional interview with NDTV Indian Wushu star Naorem Roshibina Devi, who won the silver medal in the 60kg category at the Asian Games, opens up about her challenging journey. She proudly displays her silver medals from two consecutive Asian Games and speaks about preparing for the event amidst the turmoil in her home state of Manipur. Roshibina reveals the immense sacrifices her parents, who are farmers, made for her career, stating they wouldn't even buy new clothes for themselves to ensure she had everything she needed. She acknowledges the mental toll the violence back home took on her but expresses hope that peace will return, allowing more athletes and artists from the state to achieve success. Reflecting on her final bout against her Chinese opponent, Roshibina admits she fell short of the gold but is determined to work harder. She thanks her coaches, the federation, and the Indian Olympic Association for their support, especially considering her last-minute inclusion in the squad, and vows to come back stronger in future competitions.
