International rifle shooter Meghana Sajjanar says she faces equipment and funding difficulties that have disrupted her training. According to The Times of India, she later received unexpected backing after her situation was highlighted, including support that addresses her immediate needs for competition-grade equipment.
The outlet reports that Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana read about Sajjanar’s struggle and provided help in the form of advanced rifle equipment. Sources describe how this support enables her to train effectively and compete at high levels, including winning medals at major events while she is pregnant. After giving birth, Sajjanar returns to training and prepares for the ISSF World Cup.
Across the coverage, the common focus is the same: Sajjanar’s earlier challenges, the role of external sponsorship in restoring her ability to train and perform, and her ongoing preparation for the next international competition.
