Question: Do you think they realise that you're not that way?

SUDHAHOTA: It’s strange. People have interviewed me for a number of years, but all of a sudden many of them acted as though they didn’t know me. I just had to tell some of them that basically I haven’t changed. Most of them knew it, but they just kind of changed in their own minds. Also, the Olympic Games brought about a different feeling because all of a sudden I was the most well-known athlete. It changed their perspective. Now, most of the people who had written bad things or talked sarcastically about me are apologising. I don’t know if it’s because they want to get interviews again or if they’re downright serious. But most of them are calling back and saying, “Oh, you got a bad deal, so we apologise.” That’s what I’m experiencing right now.
