You know what they say: “Success is the best revenge.” Well, Manu Bhaker has taken that to heart and is serving it with a side of style!
Hot off her medal-winning performances at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she bagged not one, but two bronze medals, Bhaker recently took center stage at Lakme Fashion Week in Delhi, proving that she can dazzle both on and off the shooting range.

As the showstopper for Marks and Spencer, she made heads turn in a sleek, sleeveless black body-fitted dress, effortlessly combining elegance with athletic flair.
To top it off, she struck her signature shooting pose, reminding everyone of her Olympic triumphs. The moment went viral, and of course, she shared it with her followers. But, as is often the case in the limelight, not everyone was ready to cheer. Enter the trolls!
While some fans rushed to her defense, one insightful user hit the nail on the head, commenting (via Instagram), “You deserve all of this and more. It's weird seeing people trolling her for getting the attention and limelight she's getting.
"She deserves all of it; compare what cricketers in our country get for winning accolades for India and you would feel this is still barely anything as compared to that. Wish you all the success and hope you make the country proud even more.” Preach!
From the shooting lanes to fashion ramp walk, its just a break for me. I loved it. Normal is boring.#shooting #fashion #rampwalk pic.twitter.com/xiKBtRmcKN

Now, what’s a superstar without a witty comeback? Bhaker didn’t just sit back and let the negativity slide. In a cheeky response to her trolls, she commented on her own post, “Wow, thank you guys for some good words. Also quite some haters I see.”
She continued with an empowering message, saying, “I just wanted to say, don’t limit yourself to anything, make your life big, your career shiny and your parents proud.
"Haters will hate, lovers will love; you do you. Have your morale high and make your own way, in your own style. There’s no shortcut to things, but why do easy things when good gave you strength to do difficult? Cheers!”
Now that’s the kind of spirit we love to see! So, here’s to Manu Bhaker—striking a perfect balance between fashion, fame, and fierce comebacks. Keep shining; the world is watching, and you’re hitting all the right notes!
