And after the event, she only had gratitude towards all the countrymen, who supported her throughout. Moments after snatching the bronze medal from the South Korean mixed team, Manu Bhaker said, “It is all because of the blessings,” she told JioCinema.

But Manu made it clear that she could control only what was in her hand, the pistol. “Me and my partner had decided that we will take things, as they come, after all you can only control as much,” she added.
