Indian Olympic shooter Manu Bhaker has hit back at trolls who criticised her recent appearance at the Lakme Fashion Week 2024. Manu sent fans into a frenzy as she walked a Marks & Spencer runway in a black bodycon sleeveless dress.
Known for her precision on the shooting range, Manu Bhaker complemented her performance on the ramp by giving an air-gun-styled pose, symbolising her Olympic performances. The moment quickly became popular on social media platforms, receiving praise and criticism.
Haters will hate: Manu Bhaker
“Wow, thank you guys for some good words. Also quite some haters I see. I just wanted to say, don’t limit yourself to anything, make your life big, your career shiny and your parents proud,,, haters will hate, lovers will love, you do you. Have your morale high and make your own way, in your own style. There’s no shortcut to things, but why do easy things when good gave you strength to do difficult. Cheers,” she wrote in the comment section on her own post on instagram. The post gave a glimpse of her ramp walk.
Bhaker, who won two medals at the recently-concluded Paris Olympics, was talking to the media in Delhi ahead of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Final, scheduled to start in the national capital from Tuesday.
Speaking to the media, Bhaker said, “I will be back for the training in November and to the match maybe by next year. I will follow all the action thoroughly. But my eyes will be on 10 metres event, the 25 metres event and the pistol events, since I am a pistol shooter.”
