00:00Let's turn from what we call a good news today's story.
00:03Delhi police constable Sonika Yadav has scripted an inspiring chapter in Indian sport.
00:08At seven months pregnant, she's won a bronze medal at the All India Police Weightlifting in Andhra Pradesh.
00:14Competing against top athletes, she lifted a combined weight of 145 kilograms.
00:20Take a look at tonight's good news story.
00:30At seven months pregnant, most women slow down.
00:37But Delhi police constable Sonika Yadav chose resilience.
00:42Her story isn't just about powerlifting, it is about lifting limits.
00:46Serving in Delhi police since 2014, Sonika balanced duty with her passion for powerlifting.
01:04This year, she trained carefully under the medical supervision with the full support of her husband and family.
01:10Every rep, every lift. A balance between strength and safety.
01:16And the result, a bronze medal at the All India Police Weightlifting Cluster held in Andhra Pradesh.
01:22Not just Sonika.
01:52Not just Sonika's family, a police family was also full support.
01:56Delhi police is the same as my family.
01:58So, the concern that my family has shown me, all of the people of Delhi police have shown me.
02:04And I just said, look, I can't run away from this spirit next year.
02:07There is no such thing. You have to take it. You have to take it.
02:10It is on your own side.
02:11So, I also convinced them that I am not going to push my limits.
02:18From Delhi's lanes to the national stage, Sonika Yadav carries more than 145 kilos.
02:29She carries hope that motherhood and ambition can coexist.
02:33That uniform strength can also be tender.
