Lovlina Borgohain didn’t just win silver; she called out a distorted Indian map at a restaurant while celebrating. And Modi noticed. “That video won’t be ordinary,” he said. Mirabai Chanu, emotional after lifting 190kg to win gold, opened up about 4 tough years; injuries, family struggles, and missing Paris by 1kg. She cried on podium; not just from joy, but release. And then there was Narender Berwal, who shared a laugh: a Pakistani boxer once joked, “I hate the name Narender; you, your coach, your PM, all Narender!” Modi laughed along. What makes this more than just a meet-and-greet? Athletes aren’t just winners; they’re patriots, fighters, and human beings. They brought glory; and real stories; to the Prime Minister’s table. The message? In India, medals aren’t just for podiums; they’re for hearts.
