Roshibina Devi looked disappointed with this defeat and said, “I made some mistakes which I should not have made.” I will try to improve it. So that I cannot repeat such a mistake in the future. She further said that I have come here with great hopes and have also worked very hard. I hoped that I could make India proud by winning gold for my country. But I could not succeed in doing so. She also expressed hope of winning gold in the next Asian Games and said that I would make necessary improvements in my game and win gold next time.
Roshibina Devi is troubled by the conditions in her home state Manipur. Hundreds of people have lost their lives in the violence between the Kuki and Meitei communities in Manipur. Due to this Roshibina Devi is upset. She lives in fear every day. Because his parents live in Manipur only. Talking to the media regarding their safety, she said, “I am worried and scared about the safety of my parents. I am always worried about him.”
