At 28, Manisha Bhanwala from Rohtak, Haryana, is not just a wrestler - she is a powerhouse of resilience and dedication. A gold medalist at the 2025 Asian Wrestling Championships and the 2016 South Asian Games, Manisha has also earned multiple bronze medals across Asia, proving her mettle on the biggest stages.

What struck me most about Manisha was her quiet strength - the kind built through relentless hard work, a growth mindset and a deep belief in what is possible. She opens up about the discipline of daily training, the mental battles behind the physical ones and what it means to chase big dreams with humility and heart.

In this deeply personal conversation, she shares the sacrifices behind the glory - long months away from home, missing her mother’s calls and the heartbreaking loss of her closest loved one. Moments that could have stopped her, but instead made her stronger, more focused and even more determined.

If you’re looking for a story that’s grounded in grit, grace and the power of showing up - this one’s for you.
