India’s para-archery sensation Sheetal Devi has once again won hearts across the country, this time with a video that showcases not her sporting skills but her incredible spirit.
In a viral clip posted on Instagram, the 18-year-old is seen driving a car using her feet, confidently controlling the steering wheel with one foot and operating the pedals with the other. Born without arms due to a rare condition called phocomelia, Sheetal’s feat left netizens in awe.
She captioned the video: “Took on the driver’s seat for a while, loving every moment of it. Never say NEVER.” The video is not just a showcase of determination but a powerful reminder that no obstacle is insurmountable with belief and courage.
Hailing from a small village in Jammu & Kashmir, Sheetal began training in archery in 2021 and quickly rose to fame, competing at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, where she clinched a bronze medal in the mixed team event and set a new record score in the ranking round. Using her feet, shoulder, and jaw, Sheetal continues to defy physical limitations and redefine possibilities.
The viral video has further cemented her status as a national inspiration and role model, proving that determination can overcome even the toughest challenges. Her journey continues to motivate millions and underscore the message that with hard work and perseverance, “nothing is impossible.”
