When India's women's national football team striker Sandhiya Ranganathan walked the field in front of her home crowd for a match against Nepal, she was overcome with joy. She expressed her pride on Twitter as her mother watched her compete in the match at Chennai's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
"She is the reason behind who I am today. As a single mother of two daughters, life was not easy for her, but she ensured we lived our best lives. My strongest pillar of support. Very happy and proud that she finally got to watch me play for the country. My Amma, my hero," wrote Ranganathan. She also shared a picture with her mother.
