Indian shooter Manu Bhaker becomes emotional at the Asian Games opening ceremony, saying she missed her late coach Jaspal Rana. She mentions the moment publicly during the event.
Bhaker carries the Indian flag alongside kabaddi star Pawan Sehrawat, and she links the occasion to her relationship with Rana, who coached her in shooting. Rana, a former shooter and coach, dies on June 11 at the age of 49. He has a significant role in Bhaker’s career, including guiding her to two bronze medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Across the outlets, the core details remain consistent: Bhaker expresses that she “missed” Rana during the ceremony and acknowledges his contribution to her achievements. The reporting differs mainly in phrasing, with some headlines quoting the line more directly, but all describe the same emotional reaction at the opening ceremony.
