"I am very happy. This was my first Commonwealth Games, and winning a bronze medal makes it even more special. I did not face any major difficulties during the competition. The only challenge was the cold weather, because I had to keep warming up repeatedly. Overall, it was a very good competition. My husband arrived just two days ago. He [her son] was telling me to take him along, but this is a very emotional moment. My situation is such that I cannot bring my son with me. It is extremely difficult and painful. You can call it a sacrifice," Seema told ANI.
"AFI has supported me tremendously, and SAI has also played a big role in my journey. I am currently training at NCOE Patiala, and JSW has helped me a lot as well. Whenever I needed anything else, my family was always there to support me. I would like to dedicate this medal to my husband. All the hard work and sacrifices behind this achievement have been possible because of his constant support," she added.
