MUMBAI: Kailash Mishra couldn't hold back his tears after daughter Aishwarya Mishra took to the podium to collect her 4x400m relay silver at the Asian Games in Hangzhou a few days back.
"I cried for almost 15 minutes," says Mishra before pausing as memories of the sacrifices the family made flashed by. The 56-year-old vegetable vendor had to go through a lot of hardships to support his daughter's dream of eking out a career in athletics.
