In this special episode of The House of Glory, we bring you a powerful story of two people who have not only made India proud but also proved that love, belief, and hard work can change lives.
Meet Simran Sharma, a Paralympic bronze medalist and Arjuna Awardee. Alongside her is her husband and coach, Gajendra Singh, the man who saw her potential when no one else did and stood by her through every high and low.
This is more than just an athlete’s story — it’s a story of a strong partnership, overcoming struggles, and chasing big dreams together.
Where It All Started
Simran’s early life wasn’t easy. She was born with health problems and faced many challenges growing up. But despite everything, she found happiness in running. Her first school race, where she ran wearing a salwar suit, became the turning point in her life.
Gajendra Singh entered her life not just as a friend but later as her life partner and coach. He believed in her more than anyone else. Even after their wedding, there was no break — he got her back on the training ground the very next day. That’s the kind of dedication they both share.
Mindset, Coaching & Mental Strength
Simran shares how Gajendra’s early motivation helped shape her mindset. He didn’t just give her a training plan — he gave her confidence, courage, and clarity.
Gajendra, too, talks about how coaching Simran changed his own life. It wasn’t just about medals. It was about building a champion together. Their bond — as coach and athlete, husband and wife — is rare and inspiring.
They also open up about tough times — especially Simran’s mental health struggles. She talks about reaching a point where she even tried to end her life. But Gajendra stood by her, helped her heal, and together they came back stronger.
Speaking Up for Indian Sports
Both Simran and Gajendra speak honestly about the Indian sports system — the support, the gaps, and what needs to improve. They highlight how important it is for athletes, especially para-athletes, to get the recognition and backing they deserve.
A Message for Young Dreamers
Simran and Gajendra have a simple message for every young person watching:
“Don’t give up. Believe in yourself. And find people who believe in you too.”
Whether it’s a friend, a coach, or a family member — having someone who pushes you forward can change your life.
