At the 2024 Olympics, Manu Bhaker won two bronze medals in the women's 10m pistol and mixed team events. In addition, in the women's 25m pistol event, she finished in 4th place.

Manu Bhaker is the first Indian athlete in history to win two medals at one Olympics. Because of that, her life changed after this tournament. According to the Times of India, up to 40 brands contacted her to invite her to advertise and be an ambassador. Besides, she also received a million dollars in prize money.
"We have received around 40 offers in the last two to three days alone. We are currently focusing on long-term deals and have signed a few contracts," Manu Bhaker's management company revealed.
Manu Bhaker admits to feeling overwhelmed by the sudden rise in fame. She said: "I don't know how to deal with the sudden rise in fame and money. I still continue with my hobbies like photography and yoga. Whatever God has given you, accept it. I will try to help people in whatever way I can.

I don't have any plans after returning home. I just want to eat a lot of Indian food. I'm so tired and just want to sleep deeply and wake up late in the morning. I also make sure to continue training so that I can aim for success in the future."
Manu Bhaker also confirmed that she will aim for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics with the highest goal. The Indian athlete said: "I always look for new motivation towards success. Now, my motivation is stable. I want to progress slowly but surely. I will return home with new motivation and aim for success in the next Olympics."
