Sherleen Dutt meets Paralympic gold medalist Navdeep Singh, says felt inspired  

Sherleen Dutt, who has been part of shows like AFL (Anything For Love), KINK: Kiss Ishq N Konnection, Honey Trap Squad, to name a few, is on cloud nine. Not only is her latest web series Koi Jaye Toh Le Aaye, making waves all over the Internet, but she is also doing great in her personal life too. In fact, she had the privilege to meet para-athlete Navdeep Singh, who won the gold medal at the Paralympic Games in the Men's Javelin throw F41 category.
 
She clicked a photograph with him and said that she felt truly inspired by him. She congratulated him for his win, which brought India’s gold medal count to seven.
 
Sherleen said, “Meeting Navdeep Singh was truly inspiring. He’s such a humble and down-to-earth person, despite his incredible achievements. It’s always motivating to meet someone who has worked so hard and made such a significant mark not just for himself but for India. His journey is a testament to dedication and resilience.”
 
Navdeep, who achieved a distance of 47.32 metres at the men's javelin throw, had initially finished second, thus securing a silver. However, he was awarded gold after Iranian Beit Sayah Sadegh was disqualified for displaying an objectionable flag at the men’s javelin final. This is India’s first gold at the Men's Javelin F41 category at the Paralympic Games.
 
Sherleen is bowled over by India’s performance at the Paralympics and called it “phenomenal”. She further said, “Our athletes have shown incredible grit and determination, proving that no obstacle is too big.”
 
“It’s not just about winning medals; it’s about their journey, which is filled with challenges that they’ve overcome. Their stories are a source of pride for the entire nation, and I feel like we’re finally recognizing the importance of their contributions,” she added.
 
Well, sports did play a huge role in Sherleen’s life too, as she was interested in basketball. “I loved the energy and teamwork involved in it. However, my passion for acting took center stage, and I eventually had to choose one path. And my family was strict, so they didn't allow me to go and play sports. But I’m happy with where I am now. And I am happy that people are giving so much importance to sport,” she ended.
