Pistol, not rifle. My mom represented (and is still representing) India for the last 30 years! She has won quite a few medals in international tournaments including Asian games and Commonwealth games. I got into shooting because of this.

When Arjun Kanungo talked about opening his studio at a young age

Arjun Kanungo's parents had separated when he was young, and his mother single-handedly raised him. In an interview with Republic World, Arjun revealed that it took him a lot of time to convince his mother, but she eventually agreed. He was quoted as saying:

"We did not have a lot of money, but one thing that my mom always taught me was whatever you do, you do well. Better don’t do it than doing it half-heartedly. I have lived my whole life with this attitude because after completing my 12th standard, I did not want to be an engineer, just to be an engineer or a doctor for the sake of being a doctor. I wanted to be passionate about what I did. So, I decided whatever I will do, I want to know everything about it, be really good at it, and I want to love it. That’s how I found music."

Well, Arjun is definitely raised by a strong woman!
