Manu Bhaker shoots down trolls after making ‘over-the-top, dramatic’ remarks about viral air rifle pose at Lakme Fashion Week

She turned heads in a sleeveless black bodycon dress and walked elegantly. She also struck a signature shooting pose, a reminder of her Olympic medals. The moment went viral on social media and even the shooter posted a video on Instagram.

But as usual, many fans decided to troll her. Some fans rushed to her defense, with one user commenting: “You deserve all this and more. It’s funny to see people mocking her for getting the attention and spotlight that she does. She deserves all this, compare what cricketers get for in our country. “I win awards for India and one would feel that this is still hardly anything in comparison. I wish you much success and hope that you make the country even prouder.

In the meantime, the 22-year-old has found the perfect answer to her trolls. Commenting on her own post, she wrote: “Wow, thank you for the kind words. I see some haters too.”

“I just wanted to say: Don’t limit yourself to anything, make your life great, your career brilliant and your parents proud. Haters will hate, lovers will love, that’s what you do. Keep your morals high and make your own.” “There is no shortcut to things, but why do easy things when good things give you the strength to do difficult things do?”

She won two bronze medals at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. First, she won bronze in the women’s 10-meter air pistol event, becoming the first Indian shooter to win a medal at the Olympics. She then bagged another bronze medal in the mixed 10m air pistol team event along with her partner Sarabjot Singh. She was the first Indian woman to win two medals at the Olympic Games since India’s independence.
