“Will Be Cherished For Generations”: PM Congratulates India Hockey Team

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today made a long congratulatory post for the Indian hockey team after they won its second successive bronze medal in the Olympic Games. India beat Spain 2-1 in the third position playoff match today.

Skipper Harmanpreet Singh (30th, 33rd minute) scored a brace for India, while Spain’s only goal was scored by captain Marc Miralles in the 18th minute from a penalty stroke.

“A feat that will be cherished for generations to come,” PM Modi said in a post on X.

“The Indian Hockey team shine bright at the Olympics, bringing home the Bronze medal. This is even more special because it is their second consecutive medal at the Olympics,” he said.

“Their success is a triumph of skill, perseverance and team spirit. They showed immense grit and resilience. Congratulations to the players. Every Indian has an emotional connection with hockey and this accomplishment will make the sport even more popular among the youth of our nation,” he said.

The medal is a fitting farewell for veteran India custodian PR Sreejesh, nicknamed ‘ The Great Indian Wall of Indian Hockey’, who drew curtains on his illustrious 18-year career with this match.

He will be bowing out as the best-ever goalkeeper India has produced. In the final later in the day, Germany will play Netherlands.

THROWBACK: When Anushka Sharma recalled how her mother manifested Yash Raj Films for actress by putting note inside turtle; ‘Hope my daughter…’

Anushka Sharma made her acting debut in 2008 with the Aditya Chopra directorial Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi opposite Shah Rukh Khan. After this, she starred in several hit films including Band Baaja Baaraat, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, PK, NH10, Dil Dhadakne Do, Sultan, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Pari, Sanju, and many more.

In this article, we present a throwback to when the actress recalled how her mother Ashima Sharma manifested a Yash Raj Films movie without her knowing anything. The actress shared that her mother wrote a note inside a turtle which came true. 

During an appearance on the show, Simi Selects India’s Most Desirable hosted by Simi Garewal, Anushka Sharma recalled how her mother Ashima Sharma had written a wish to see her daughter in a Yash Raj Films movie.

She shared, “There was this one time I was driving back from Yash Raj Studios and I got the news, Adi (Aditya Chopra) told me. And I was driving back and I couldn’t drive anymore because I was crying. I was so happy… I was crying. So I stopped… I stopped the car and I pulled over and I called my mother and I told her that I got this film. And you know what my mum told me? There’s this turtle that used to be there in my living room. It was I think some Feng Shui thing. You just open the turtle and you put something like a wish inside that turtle and you shut it. And when your wish comes true you take it out.”

The PK actress further added that her mother never informed her about this but when her mother heard that Anushka got the film she opened that and showed it to the actress. The Dil Dhadakne Do actress shared the note her mother wrote, ‘I hope my daughter stars in a Yash Raj film’.”

She said that it was unbelievable and somewhere her mother wanted her to be an actress as Anushka recalled. 

Meanwhile, Anushka will be seen in Chakda XPress. The film is a biopic on cricketer Jhulan Goswami. However, the release date of the film is not revealed yet.
