Q. When did you start playing kabaddi?
I started playing kabaddi in 2006 when I was just 13 years old. I have been playing kabaddi from my school time.
Q. What kind of support did you get from your family in your early days of kabaddi?
That time no one supported me. My parents used to scold me. They used to say, “Why are you ruining your life, focus on studies it will help you in future.” Sometimes I even used to get beaten by them.
Q. How did you continue your kabaddi in the early days without home support?
I straight away ran to play after coming from school. I used to skip food too. In the evening, my family used to scold me for that.
Q. Who was harder on you – your mother or your father?
My mother didn’t scold me much but my father used to scold a lot. Sometimes I also got beaten by him. I always used to go to my mother when there was some injury. I used to say “Here mom, here it’s paining.”
Q. How is the support from your family nowadays?
My family was happy when I got a job through my game. After that everyone supported me. Now during Star Sports Pro Kabaddi they call me daily and ask about my health. They also tell me to play well
