'Kennedy' actor Rahul Bhat meets P.T. Usha on his flight, emphasises upon the legend's achievements and struggles

| @indiablooms | Feb 29, 2024, at 08:27 pm

In a chance encounter during a flight back to Mumbai, actor Rahul Bhat found himself in the company of none other than the legendary track and field athlete P.T. Usha, often hailed as the "UdanPari".

Rahul shared an image of himself with India's legendary athlete with a caption stating, "Met the legendary PT Usha on my flight back to Mumbai, and had the privilege of conversing with the "UdanPari" herself, @ptushaofficial. As we discussed her remarkable achievements and her recent role as a member of parliament in #rajyasabha, I couldn't help but reflect on the challenges she must have faced in 1986, especially as a female athlete in India.

"Despite the lack of facilities, she soared above it all, securing a #goldmedal and paving the way for countless athletes. These inspiring individuals, like PT Usha, are true national treasures who continue to motivate millions. It's clear that success comes to those who persevere, irrespective of obstacles. #JaiHo"
