I was contending in such countless global occasions, shooting in consecutive contests. It was such a great deal travel that I was depleted. However, I was in India group and I have this extraordinary chance to fit the bill for Paris Olympics. To do my MBBS simultaneously, it would have been troublesome. My folks were strong so they allowed me one year for shooting,” says Filter.
