It is important to have a good friend in life. And, if that good friend is like Sumit Antil's childhood friend Mohit, then what can be said? The story of Sumit Antil reaching the position where you see him today is incomplete without that friend. Not only we but Sumit Antil himself also believes this. Sumit had said this in a podcast to the International Olympic Committee a few years ago. Referring to his friend Mohit, he had said that he left a job worth lakhs to build his success.
Sumit Antil and Mohit are childhood friends. Both of them studied together in school. Both of them studied in the same class. Now understand how strong and true this friendship is. Mohit had started working in the Merchant Navy, in which one earns lakhs. But, as soon as he came to know about his friend's accident, he left his job. He left his job and came to Sumit Antil and said, do whatever you want to do, I am with you.
Mohit has been encouraging Sumit Antil for the past several years. He stands as a shield of courage for his friend. According to Sumit, when he is tired, Mohit also works as a physio for him. He gives him a massage. He presses his hands and feet and he has no shame or hesitation in doing so.
Sumit says that whenever he looks at Mohit, he feels happy thinking that he has a friend who stands with him every moment. Who sacrificed his career to make my career.
Now it is my responsibility to ensure that he lives a good life because he has put his dreams at stake for me. According to Sumit, it was more his friend Mohit's dream than his to become a Paralympic and world champion. He has brought stability to my life, now I will settle his life.
Sumit Antil first talked about his friend Mohit in the IOC podcast when he won the gold medal in the Tokyo Paralympics. Now he has repeated the same success and a new Paralympic record in Paris. It is true that life becomes so easy when you have a good friend with you, it is visible.
