Avani Lekhara is the first Indian woman to win two gold medals in the Games’ history. She was one of the guests in the Sports & Discipline category of the ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ initiative by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The 8th edition of PPC, featuring seven insightful episodes, brings together renowned personalities from diverse fields to guide students on essential aspects of life. Avani recalled the advice she got from the PM before heading for the Paris Paralympics as a defending champion. She also shared her message on how to overcome the pressure and stress in this competitive time, saying, \”Sometimes, it feels like we’re surrounded by a very negative environment, and we might think that it’s the end of the road. In those moments, we should never give up. Just like when a person gets hurt, they first accept it, and only then can they treat it. If you keep trying, you’ll eventually reach a place where you will feel proud of yourself\”
