I have never thought of a full-fledged career in Bollywood because boxing has never left my mind. But you never know.

I train for around 3-4 hours everyday. It can go up to 6-7 hours when a competition is approaching.

I always try to see the good in everything, and that gives me strength. Even when I lost in the London Olympics quarterfinals, I said to myself, 'Don't lose heart, God has his own plans.' Actually, life just goes on; you have to accept whatever challenge you face and become stronger.

I knew very little or nothing about the Olympics. Having qualified was itself a big achievement for me, and then being there was quite overwhelming. Although I lost in the opening round, but the fact that I fought well was enough for me to take away from Athens.

In all the years that I've been in football - I went directly from coaching to broadcasting - I never really had a lot of experience watching it.

Football is so popular, people know they can sell their story in a newspaper form or a rating on TV, so they use football because what they are more about is the business of, you know, selling newspapers or seeing commercial time on TV.

We are lucky to be playing football for a living. For me, this is what I have always wanted to do.

You look at the sports pages and you'd often be forgiven for thinking women didn't do sport.
