00:06And in an exclusive interaction, Meera Bhai spoke about how she's going to celebrate this magnificent win
00:11and what exactly clicked for her heading into the Asia.
00:15And I'm leaving you with this exclusive. Thanks for tuning in.
00:18Meera, you have finished this 28-year-old.
00:23First of all, you have told me about this because you started Asian Games in 2014.
00:27And in 2026, you managed to win this medal.
00:31First of all, I was very happy about this medal.
00:34Because we have started some of the years since I started the availability of sports,
00:40I can say that I should have a medal in the Asia Games.
00:44And in 2014, I won the Asia Games.
00:49So I didn't know what to do and what to do.
00:53And the performance was also reduced.
00:54So as soon as I came to the Asia Games, there was something happening in the Asia Games.
01:00So there was a doubt that everything was happening in the Asia Games.
01:04It was not happening in the Asia Games.
01:05But in my mind, it was like that the Asia Games medal is reduced.
01:10I'm missing.
01:10It's all about my Olympics medal.
01:15It is all about me.
01:15The World medal.
01:16Thears are all three-time medals.
01:18The World medal.今後,
01:21there was nothing that happened during the Asian Games. But at the
01:23time, I felt like I had to do India's World Diftings. And for me,
01:28I wanted to give a medal for India to get me for the first time.
01:31I've had a lot of fun, I've had a lot of fun, I've had a lot of fun and I've
01:35had a lot of fun.
01:36This is what I've had a lot of fun.
01:40So I'm very happy that I've had a lot of fun.
01:45My medal is full of medals.
01:47So what can be more fun than this?
01:50That's a great thing.
01:52Because as you said, there were all medals in your cabinet.
01:55But one of the Asian Games medals was missing.
01:57that you have completed. But behind it, Meera has been working for years.
02:02We have seen that Meera has always come to an event and has always come.
02:07The phone is closed, the social media is closed.
02:11We have to know that Meera is where?
02:13So this is your dedication, that you have to do it.
02:19That's what you have to do.
02:20It's a victory. It's a victory for players.
02:25I don't want to say that I want to do it.
02:28I want to do it.
02:31Every player has a different system, different mind, different training.
02:37But when we don't do training,
02:41we have to do our performance.
02:43And the injuries start to come.
02:45So I feel like that I'm in a slow motion.
02:49I just want to do it.
02:52I have to focus on that.
02:55That's why I have to focus on that.
03:00That's why I have to keep it safe.
03:02I have to focus on that.
03:03I don't get the focus until I get the moment.
03:05I have to focus on that.
03:08That's why I have to focus on that.
03:11I had a focus on that.
03:14I had a lot of time for my time.
03:16That's why I was focused on the training.
03:21Sometimes you go away from pizza, sometimes you go away from ice cream.
03:24So this time, now you have the same thing that you didn't have to do so many years.
03:31What are you going to eat now?
03:33No, we will get to eat pizza.
03:38I've said yes, I can eat.
03:41So, yes, I will enjoy this medal after that.
03:47I also brought them to Kamal Games.
03:51I will enjoy this medal.
03:54I will eat pizza after that.
03:57I will see it later.
04:00I will enjoy it for this medal.
