03:27We didn't know if we should take the chance or not.

04:27He promised, he said, I will qualify.
04:30He got his weapon, he was the one who qualified.
04:33After that, it was like one by one stepping stone.
04:36He started topping, he was a Telangana topper.
04:39Till now, he is the highest, he is a topper.
04:42In GFG, there was a leap program.
04:47He got selected in that and he did really well.
04:50All were normal students.
04:52For them also, it was difficult.
04:54But they also helped him a lot.
04:56First national was Kilo India.
05:00He was 16 then.
05:02But he was selected under 21 with all top medal shooters.
05:07He came back with gold medal.
05:09It was exciting for us.
05:11We didn't expect that.
05:13That was a turning point.
05:26In GF Junior World Cup, in a 10 meter air rifle,

06:00In 2022, Deaf Olympics came.
06:04Till then, he didn't go to any school or college in a special category.
06:10Normally, he would stop.
06:13We discussed with Gagan sir.
06:15They were all sure he will come back with a medal.

07:24Dhanush's mother is sad that he is not getting any financial support.
07:32She wants the government to help him.
07:35Every time he comes back with a medal,
07:39we used to go to the officials and ask for their support.
07:44Because this is so expensive.
07:46We belong to a middle class family.
07:48We have to pay a lot of expenses.
07:51So, every time we used to go to the officials and ask for their support.
07:55They used to say that they will give.
07:57But, bad luck, he didn't get any support.
08:01Now, we are just requesting the government.
08:04At least now, they will support him.
08:06Dhanush has become a symbol of excellence in the shooting.
08:11He is proving that he is not an ordinary person.
08:14Achieving gold in the 2028 Olympics is his only goal.
