Bhaker opened India’s medal tally in the ongoing Olympics after she secured third place in the women’s individual 10m Air pistol event, becoming the first-ever woman shooter to win an Olympic medal for India. Following that, Sarabjot Singh and Bhaker won the bronze medal in the 10m air pistol (mixed team) event, which was India’s first-ever shooting team medal.
She had a shot at returning with three medals from Paris. But in her final event, she narrowly missed out on the historic grand treble and finished fourth in the women’s 25m pistol shooting event. She missed out on the opportunity to become the first Indian to win three medals at the Olympics. Bhaker is the first athlete from the Indian contingent after independence to get two medals in a single edition of the Paris Olympics.
Meanwhile, on the work front, John Abraham will be next seen in ‘Vedaa.’
Recently, the makers unveiled the trailer.
At the start of the trailer, John can be seen reciting Lord Krishna’s lines from Bhagavad Gita in the background as his character is shown fighting goons.

It will face a box office clash with ‘Stree 2’ on August 15. (ANI)
