The inspiring video, posted on Instagram, shows Devi expertly maneuvering the vehicle. Her caption, "Took on the driver’s seat for a while, loving every moment of it. Never say NEVER," has resonated with many. The video has quickly gone viral, further solidifying her image as a symbol of determination and limitless potential.

Devi was born with phocomelia, a rare condition resulting in the absence of arms. However, she has never allowed her disability to define her. Instead, she has become a celebrated para-archer, achieving international recognition. She uses her right foot, shoulder, and jaw to shoot, showcasing a unique adaptation to a sport traditionally reliant on arm strength.

At the age of 18, Devi made history at the Paris Paralympics, achieving a score of 703 out of 720, breaking the previous record of 698. She also secured a bronze medal.

In doing so, she became only the second armless athlete ever to win a Paralympic medal.

Sheetal's journey, from a small village in Jammu to the Paralympic podium, is a testament to her resilience and strong will. Driving a car with her feet is just another example of her unwavering belief that no obstacle is too great to overcome.
