He always supports me and motivates me,” he said, adding he never let him feel low in one defeat.

“I just want to say that young players, especially girls, there are perceptions that girls cannot reach anything, wrong.
They can do many things, they have a lot of strength in it,” Chanu said.
While family responsibilities should not be ignored, he said women must also express their inner strength to do something.
“All girls must have seen a dream like that ‘I can also do’.
Why can’t girls do it?” Chanu said, advising girls to take weight lift and do training.
“I asked the family to support their girls in sports, to continue in the fields they dreamed,” he signed.
