Ace Indian shooter Manu Bhaker recently swapped the shooting range for the fashion runway, making a stylish appearance at Lakme Fashion Week. Bhaker strutted down the runway in an elegant ensemble from Marks and Spencer, effortlessly blending her athletic poise with fashion finesse.
Sharing her runway debut on social media, Bhaker captioned a video of the event: “Locked, Loaded and Runway-ready with M&S! Bringing in the #BigAutumnEnergy!” The post quickly garnered attention, with fans applauding her ability to transition from sports to fashion with such ease.
Manu Bhaker’s foray into fashion comes on the heels of her historic performance at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, where she became the first Indian woman to secure multiple medals at a single edition of the Games. The 22-year-old shooting sensation clinched two bronze medals—one in the women’s 10m air pistol individual event, and the other in the 10m mixed team event alongside Sarabjot Singh.
In addition to her medal haul, Bhaker narrowly missed out on a third podium finish, placing fourth in the 25m women’s air pistol event. Her stellar Olympic run not only cemented her legacy but also added to India’s growing reputation in shooting sports on the global stage.
While Bhaker continues to make headlines for her shooting prowess, her appearance at Lakme Fashion Week proves she’s equally comfortable walking the ramp. With her Olympic achievements and newfound role as a fashion icon, Bhaker is inspiring a new generation to embrace both sports and style.
