After winning two medals at the Paris Olympics, Manu Bhaker encouraged students in India to consider sport as a career. She emphasized that sport offers a lot of experience and personal growth, which makes it a fulfilling and beautiful career. Bhaker also mentioned that sport involves a lot of challenges but it's important to learn from them and keep fighting to achieve your dreams.

Since English isn't her first language, communicating with foreigners was a challenge but she learned the language from different people. She also told the students to value their culture as they pursue their sporting career. She has had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet people from different cultures, so spending time with these people helped her appreciate cultural differences. Bhaker also highlighted the importance of the support she got from her parents, especially her mother.
