Those who used to ask my father to be ashamed of himself for training us in wrestling now say they wish they have daughters like me.
I have overcome most of my fears.
I was scared of water, so I learnt swimming.
After I stop wrestling, my dream is to open a wrestling academy, train students and produce more Geetas and Babitas!
Yes, Indian wrestling has improved since foreign coaches came in because the skills and techniques they have is new to us.

Seeing my name in the newspapers after winning the national junior championship motivated me to win more medals and I have never looked back since then.
Young girls in Haryana should speak their mind and not be afraid to challenge the system.
Women sportspersons like Krishna Poonia and Seema Antil are role models for Haryanvi women.
In our village women are left to clean the house and milk the cattle so when I first entered the ring, I had to hear the criticism of people.
