Their reunion marked a turning point as the duo buried their differences and worked towards a common goal of success at the Paris Olympics. The renewed partnership sparked a fire within Bhaker, motivating her to strive for excellence once again.

This introspection and willingness to step back from the sport temporarily underscored her commitment to personal growth and self-discovery beyond the realm of shooting.

Her journey from contemplating quitting the sport to clinching a historic medal exemplifies the power of perseverance, mentorship, and self-reflection in achieving success on the world stage.
