Athletes who get medal in national or international tournaments are used by different companies to fool general public, after winning two bronze medals, Manu Bhaker has taken the responsibility of fooling people. Manu Bhaker’s two ads – “Thumps up” and “Dabur Khajurprash”, both these ads have just one message, I drink Thums Up, I eat Khajurprash, which means I use better things and if you also use the same things that I use then you will perform like me in Olympics, if this would really happen then the worse runner would run like Usain Bolt wearing Usain Bolt’s underwear.
Have people lost their senses that now so called celebrities will suggest what to use?
In India, when someone gets Olympic medal, people make him/ her sit on the head and dance as if horns have emerged on their heads.
Manu Bhaker got the “Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award”, this is the result of her too much publicity more than her success.
Giving the award to Manu Bhaker this time was a completely wrong decision.
As much hype as Manu Bhaker got for winning two bronze medals that much hype Avani Lekhara did not get despite winning two gold medals, if differently abled people are more able than they should be given more moral support.
Manu Bhaker got two bronze medals in Olympics and Avani Lekhara got two gold medals in Paralympics, according to their respective physical condition and ability Avani Lekhara ‘s performance in competition was far better than Manu Bhaker, so Avani ‘s medals matter more.
If we consider the metal of medals then Avani should have been made the brand ambassador of MOPSW.
Did Miss Bhaker propose the ministry that Avani Lekhara has the first right to become the brand ambassador of Ports, shipping and waterways, if judging on the metal of medals?
Initially when Manu Bhaker’s name was not short listed for” Major DhyanChand Khel Ratna Award ” she expressed her feeling to her father that ‘I shouldn’t have gone to the Olympics and won medals for the country’.
Whether this feeling of her was out of sadness or anger she knows better, but her thinking was completely similar with John F Kennedy’s saying “Ask not what your country can do for you , ask what you can do for your country.”
