In reply, Lakshya said: “When I won a medal in the Youth Olympics that was the time when I met you for the first time and today is the second chance I got to meet you. Whenever we get an opportunity to meet you, it boosts our confidence and we feel very motivated. Even after our phone call, it’s a really great feeling for all of us. I am looking forward to winning more tournaments, meeting you and bringing Bal Mithai for you.”

PM Modi further advised Lakshya to maintain his childish nature and keep on striving hard to achieve big goals ahead.
“He pays attention to small, small things. He knew that Almora’s ‘bal mithai’ is very famous, so he had asked me to get it. I got it for him. And he also knew that my grandfather and father also used to play. These small things are very important. Such a big man is saying these things to you, so it feels very nice to talk to him,” Sen told the reporters after the interaction.
