  • Many online users have stated that it's a lack of respect towards Bhaker

  • The 24-year-old shooter has two Olympic medals to her name

Bhaker was attending the event at the National Rifle Association of India’s (NRAI) 75th anniversary celebrations. The ace shooter, who has won two bronze medals in 2024 Paris Olympics, was interviewed on the sidelines.

However one such question caught everyone's question - Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The 24-year-old spoke well and stated the importance of mentorship especially in the life of a 15-year-old Sooryavanshi.

“I would say that if the mentorship is good, the company around him is good, and the people around him are good, then age is just a number. And there is no age for talent. Great things happen at 60; they happen at six. So if the people around him mentor him well and guide him properly, then I am sure he will be the next big star," Bhaker told reporters at an event on Monday.

Social Media Users Enraged

However, the question from the media has not gone down well with the netizens. Some were left offended by the question and criticized the lack of respect being shown to Bhaker by asking about cricket.

Here are some of the replies that the social media users have posted to the video -
