According to a report in The Times Of India, Sarabjot Singh never picked shooting, intending to make a career out of it. During his school's summer camp, he took shooting for fun, which changed everything. As a youngster, he liked holding a pistol and enjoyed hitting the targets.
Even his parents weren't keen on him taking an interest in shooting. However, with time, Sarabjot developed an interest in shooting and started thinking of making a career in it. Although shooting is a super-expensive sport, Sarabjot's father saw his son doing wonders in shooting, he realised that he was quite passionate about it and also had the potential to achieve something big, so he decided to invest in his son's dreams.
Sarabjot's father, who is just a farmer, told his son to pursue his dreams without worrying about the expenses. The doting father did everything to provide his son with the best equipment and also used to drop his son at the bus stand every day. After years of struggle and training, in 2019, Sarabjot won the gold medal at the Junior World Championship in Germany, filling his parents' hearts with immense pride.
