Awesome great story. Blessing to Payal on reaching her dreams.
Excellent. It's quite interesting to know about people like Payal Sharma. The ones who go out of the norm and have unique passions.

It’s not out of the norm, literally north is having trend fo women becoming wrestlers. It’s a hot topic for a decade now.
Three types of worlds. 1st. - Western world.. they give all types of freedom to girls, gender equality well maintain, woman in every fields. But extreme feminism & porn, nudity, toxic sexual fantasy also a part of West world. 2nd. - Asian countries.. India, China, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia like countries. They give all types of freedom to girls, in every fields. These countries constitution provide equal rights to all genders. But, they are not modern just like Western societies. Many formalities & Asian culture restrictions on girls. Feminists & woman rights activists are allow. No restrictions, if girls go to nightclubs, entertainment & adult industry. 3rd. - middle east, afghanistan, pakistan, iran, somalia like religious theocracy countries. They don't give absolute freedom to girls. Feminism and woman rights activists don't exist in these countries. If woman go to clubs, bars, hangout with male boyfriend. They face blasphemy charges. High restriction & very low level of woman empowerment. No adultery, no LGBT, no woman allow in entertainment industry, no woman allow in male sports tournaments.. many restrictions.

This reminds me of a Bollywood movie called Dangal. It's about two wrestler girls (they're siblings) from India. I don't know how accurate it is compared to the real story, but it's really a good movie. DW, thank you for not dubbing this video. It's always nice to hear people talking in their native languages. I hope you'll do the same for your upcoming videos.

Wrestling is one of the original sports in the ancient Olympic Games in Greece, dating back to 776 B.C. The Ancient Olympic Games were founded in a search for Truce, so competition could replace deadly conflict.

This "movement" was never something by which to capitalize. Women are humans, with different levels of strength, personalities and preferences in their hobbies and careers. There are cultures, traditions and choice - people will/have always decided where to draw the line and from where to draw their inspirations.
Interesting and emotional story! Thanks for sharing.
Right there at 57: mark, thats love right there, her maw. No other kinda bond.

Im agree about her spirit to change something,but even the most civilised person will tell u this is not a sport for a women. If anyone approves this he has the same issue with her. If u want to do such a sport it means u has a gender issue,and this push u to that sport. Also if u are not look feminine that is other sign. If u are normal girl u can do any other sport.

Propaganda. Germans know all about Dr Goebels' art.
It’s literally the same thing as a child, tell them they shouldn’t do something and they do it. I think it’s silly we even consider him a woman, she even says she’s practically a man, and she tries hard at it. So I say let her wrestle with the guys.
They have to fight two wrestling matches first against the patriarchy and second against the opponent.

Only people who make fun of others for looking different/more buff than the norm have obviously never lifted a single dumbell in their lives. People who have, automatically show their respect and admiration. Biologically women have 10x less testosterone than average men and have a lot of societal restrictions on them but despite that so many rise up, work 10x harder and just dedicate everything to what they believe in. People like these always have my respect
