In an interview with The Indian Express, Mohit’s father, Ashok Sharma shared that his 21-year-old son was deeply passionate about Wushu.

“Mohit was passionate about wushu and other martial arts and that was the reason he made me shift to Jaipur so that he could train at a local college. It was tough for me as I opened the parchun shop to support Mohit and my family including my wife Sunita and daughters, Nisha and Ritika back at the village. When Mohit was selected for Rajasthan University team, he was excited and told us that he would win a medal and make Rajasthan proud. With his loss, we have lost everything including our dreams to see him win medals,” Ashok told The Indian Express.
