It was a great day for India on the sports front as shooter Avani Lekhara scripted history on Monday by becoming the first Indian woman to win a gold medal at the Paralympics, firing her way to the top of the podium in the R-2 women's 10m Air Rifle Standing SH1 event. The 19-year-old from Jaipur, who sustained spinal cord injuries in a car accident in 2012, finished with a world record-equalling the total of 249.6, which is also a new Paralympic record. Several Bollywood celebs cheered for Avani and penned their heartfelt wishes on social media. Actors Akshay Kumar, Kangana Ranaut, Vicky Kaushal, Taapsee Pannu and others showered praises for the athlete.from IndiaTV Entertainment: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/3yqDbKc
