Two children from the city have been praised by legendry gymnast Nadia Comaneci and union minister Kiren Rijiju for their cartwheels and somersaults with their bags on their backs on their way to the school.
"Outstanding ... on the way to school," posted Comaneci after the video of the children's performance on August 28 went viral on the social media.
The legendary gymnast even shared the video on her official twitter handle @nadiacomaneci10 with her comment "This is awesome."
Rijiju, the union minister of state for youth affairs and sports, tweeted "I'm happy that @nadiacomaneci10 tweeted it! As first gymnast who scored perfect 10.0 at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, and then, received six more perfect 10s to win three gold medals, it becomes very special. I've urged to introduce these kids to me."
Ali told reporters on Tuesday, "We do not know if we did anything so special, anything unusual on that day. Jashika and I often somersault on the road on way to school or within the dance academy. We love dancing and acrobatics. And yes I would love to be a gymnast one day."
Lovely said, "This was not the first time. We often do such stunts on the road on our way to school. But this time our feat was filmed by Sir (Shekhar Rao) who uploaded it on Youtube and it was shared on twitter by many others including Comaneci."
