Asmita Dey, who won a gold medal in judo at Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2026, lost her father to a brain stroke in December last year. The 23-year-old's father worked as a cycle mechanic, earning ₹300 a day to support his family. "People in [Tripura] don't dream this big. But papa always supported me," Asmita said after winning the gold medal.
