Rana’s incredible journey to the top of the shooting world

He was just 14 then but he took part in an open championships organised by the Manav Rachna Foundation in Faridabad. The first prize was a Renault Kwid and Rana, not yet eligible for a driving license, took the field by surprise -- winning gold and the car. He was a year into his training. "That win gave me belief in my potential," Rana told HT from Cairo.

His experience in the Cairo World Championships this week was no less stunning. This time, he left the world champions and Olympic medallist in his wake, by winning the 10m air pistol title. Competing in his maiden world championships and in his first senior final ever, Samrat was the proverbial dark horse who became the champion.

Gurinder: Want to bring Bend It Like Beckham 2 before the World Cup

Filmmaker Gurinder Chadha, known for Bend It Like Beckham (2002) featuring Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley, earlier this year, hinted at working on the film's sequel. Now, speaking about that, she shares, “I couldn't think of an idea that would better the movie. But given the success of women’s football, the way the Indian diaspora has flourished around the world, and the impact the film has had socially and culturally, there is a global expectation. So, I'm exploring what we are going to do, how we are going to do it, and I have some good ideas. The FIFA Women’s World Cup is in 2027, and I want to make sure we do something that feels as exciting as being at a match there. Hopefully, we will release it before the World Cup.”
