Speaking to her phone camera, Bhaker, a two-time medallist at the Paris Olympics, showed her online followers her classrooms and the Honours board that has her name on it. "The best thing about being in a village school is that the atmosphere is very laid back and chilled out," she said, adding that her school was quite a strict place: "We always moved around the school in queues, boys and girls separate."

Finally, she panned the camera towards the most important part of the school for her - the shooting range, which is now named the Manu Bhaker Shooting Range. "Whenever I didn't like certain subjects, I would come to this room. That's how I started shooting," said Bhaker, aptly naming her speech, Manu Logue.
