She bagged a gold medal in the 10-metre air pistol event at Rio De Janeiro, recently.

When asked about is it the time for transition in Indian shooting she replied: "Yes! definitely is. Indian shooters are doing much better than before as they giving a very good competition to other countries. The performance of an individual player boosts the overall performance of the country. Like all the young children's, they are motivated to perform better."
