I've grown up with Bollywood, and I continue to enjoy it. But boxing remains my passion.

I knew very little or nothing about the Olympics. Having qualified was itself a big achievement for me, and then being there was quite overwhelming. Although I lost in the opening round, but the fact that I fought well was enough for me to take away from Athens.

I always try to see the good in everything, and that gives me strength. Even when I lost in the London Olympics quarterfinals, I said to myself, 'Don't lose heart, God has his own plans.' Actually, life just goes on; you have to accept whatever challenge you face and become stronger.

I do a lot of yoga and meditation. It calms my nerves and helps me channelise my energy.

I believe, whatever God does, he does it for the good. I always try to look at life like that.

Achievements are precious and timeless, just like the precious metal platinum. And what better way to celebrate milestones in your life than with precious platinum.

Sportspersons have to reinvent themselves every day. It helps them improve.
