As a lifestyle expert with a deep appreciation for athleticism and resilience, I am absolutely thrilled to witness the extraordinary achievements of our Indian para-athletes at the Paris Paralympic Games 2024. Their determination, skill, and spirit are truly inspiring.


Indian para-athletes are making us all proud by representing our nation at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. Friday saw a significant milestone as India won four medals, including one gold, one silver, and two bronze, during this competition. Avani Lekhara secured the gold medal in the Women’s 10m Air Rifle Standing SH1 final. Notable Bollywood personalities such as Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ayushmann Khurrana, among others, took to social media to congratulate Avani on her impressive victory.

Significantly, Mona Agarwal claimed the third place in the same air rifle tournament category. Manish Narwal took home silver in the men’s competition. Preethi Pal secured a bronze in the Women’s T25-100m event at the Paralympics, making her the first Indian para-athlete to accomplish this feat.

On August 30th, I, an ardent admirer, couldn’t help but express my joy as Kareena Kapoor, a woman I deeply respect, took to Instagram to celebrate the historic victory of Avani, Mona, Manish, and Preethi at the Paralympics. In her heartfelt story, she shared a beautiful collage of these four incredible para-athletes and gave them a well-deserved shoutout. Bebo, as we fondly call her, penned down a hearty “Huge congratulations” accompanied by a red heart and the Tricolor emojis, symbolizing both her admiration and love for our nation.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I couldn’t help but share my exhilaration after witnessing India’s triumphant day at the Paralympics. I find myself swelling with pride and joy! In my recent Instagram story, I extended my heartfelt congratulations to the champions who brought home the gold. What a remarkable display of resilience, determination, and skill! #IndiaShinesAtParalympics
