He also shared a video clip of his interaction with Sheuli prior to the departure of the Indian contingent for Commonwealth Games in which the athlete was heard saying he practices yoga daily.

"Before our contingent left for the Commonwealth Games, I had interacted with Achinta Sheuli. We had discussed the support he received from his mother and brother. I also hope he gets time to watch a film now that a medal has been won," the Prime Minister added.
