Mirabai Chanu Generously Rewards Truck Drivers Who Gave Her Free Lifts In Her Training Days

The athlete who bagged India’s first medal at the Tokyo Olympics made headlines yet again for a heartwarming gesture. Mirabai Chanu had earlier expressed her gratitude towards all those who helped her along her journey to glory. At the time she’d stated that she was in search of the truck drivers in Imphal who used to drop her off at her sports academy while she trained.

Mirabai revealed that she’d appreciated their kindness because she lived over 25 km away from the Academy and there was no other means of transport back then. India Today reports that she soon got in touch with the men and humbly thanked them for their part in her success. Furthermore, she presented them with gifts and treated 150 drivers to a lavish lunch.

She gifted them all a shirt each and a Manipuri scarf. Take a look at a video of the luncheon where Chanu honoured all the drivers-

People online loved her gesture and tweeted to laud Chanu’s humility.
