- During her suspension, Hooda supported her father, Lakhpat Hooda, through his battle with throat cancer while managing limited finances and transitioning from the 60kg to the 65kg weight class.
- Recalling her suspension, Hooda said, 'Mummy, I am going to miss the Olympics!' and now aims for a Deputy Director position in the Sports Department offered by the Haryana Government.
- Returning home to Rohtak, Hooda plans to frame her new gold medal, replacing the Asiad bronze from Hangzhou she previously lost, viewing this journey as 'a lot tougher' now.
