Hetr sister Riya Sharma said Unnati's next goal is to compete at the 2028 LA Olympics. "She's made us all very proud, whether it's her state, country, college, school, or the forest department. She's worked hard since she was little. She's had her ups and downs, and before this medal, she was struggling a bit, thinking things weren't going well. But now that she's won the bronze, she's very happy, and so are we. We hoped for gold, but we're still thrilled with the bronze," Riya said.
