Happy with the performance of the Indian women’s hockey team at the Tokyo Olympics, she says, “It’s the first time in history that women’s team reached the semi-finals, that says a lot about how far we have come. Plus, with the help of sponsorship, our team is also getting recognition, which was the need of the hour. I am happy to see that people in the sports fraternity feel it’s high time that we focus on other sports, too.”
Chitrashi also shares one thought that struck her recently during the Olympics. She says, “Vandana Kataria is one of our hockey players , and back then, she and I have played together. I feel so good that she is representing India. And seeing her, a thought crossed my mind that if I had continued playing hockey, perhaps I, too, might have represented my country at the Olympics as one of the strikers… I don’t know, it’s just a sweet thought.” While hockey will always hold a special place in her heart, she is also happy being in front of the camera. “I have been working continuously, but some people might feel that I took a break because I don’t promote myself too much. My last TV show was Shankar Jaikishan, and post that, I have shot for films, web shows and now I am part of a comedy show. I have also been doing commercial theatre for the last five years,” she signs off.
