She always told me to have fun and pushed me to improve. It\u2019s an expensive sport and my mom would cut down on other expenses to ensure that my training wasn\u2019t impacted, and I could participate in more races. She knows how to invest money smartly and I am grateful to her for that.<span data-pos=\"14\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018My mom never holds me back\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-pos=\"16\"><\/span>Our bond has evolved over the years. Today, I travel alone for most of my races and my mom has to follow them online. <\/p>\n<p>But even if she is a little apprehensive regarding my safety, she doesn\u2019t show it and she never holds me back. She trusts me completely and believes that I can take care of any situation. She keeps saying that I can do better and that motivates me to try harder. She also tells me that I must go out and enjoy my life. <span data-pos=\"20\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018We love styling our own outfits\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-pos=\"22\"><\/span>When I was a kid, my mom loved dressing me up and she created my outfits. So, I would have nine different outfits during Navratri, which would be made out of her lehengas or other dresses. So, those outfits have a lot of sentimental value for me. Now, I love wearing her clothes. Also, instead of buying readymade clothes, we love styling our own outfits, especially if we have to attend a wedding or any other function. So, we shop together and buy materials.<\/p>\n<p>After that, we love styling the entire outfit from scratch.
