• How did you feel when you received the Arjuna Award?
  To win a gold in dressage for India after 41 years and to start 2024 with an Arjuna Award is the biggest moment of my life and I am extremely grateful and honoured. It was a surreal feeling and a great moment when the Arjuna Award was given to me at Rashtrapati Bhawan in the presence of so many honourable people.

• How supportive were your parents during your journey?
  Without my parents’ support, I wouldn’t have won the gold medal.

• How challenging is horse riding?
  In horse riding, each horse in our team has its own individual personality, being a living being with unique traits. Unlike in other sports where challenges are more predictable, riding involves a high level of uncertainty.
