Facts/Trivia
- Initially, Adarsh developed a keen interest in cricket and badminton. Due to childhood illness, he was unable to engage in physically demanding sports, so he chose shooting. In an interview, Adarsh discussed his difficult journey and how his sister inspired him to pursue shooting. He said,
It has been a difficult journey for me since I was born. A lower back injury prevented me from pursuing my passion for cricket or badminton. As I got older, I found that I was unable to participate in physically demanding sports. So I chose to shoot. My sister Riya Singh (also a national-level shooter) was pursuing shooting and she introduced me to the sport, which helped a lot. I honed my skills at the Faridabad Model School Shooting Range and soon I developed a keen interest. ”
