I'm a real person. I have real feelings. I have real thoughts. It's a quality people like about me. They can reach out and touch me. I wouldn't give it up for anything.

I've had a long, long road with lots of ups and downs. But that's all behind me now.

We are proud to be role models.

Everyone should be allowed to participate in sport, because it helps you to become more confident. That is important for women in India, because we are not always treated as equals.

We became quite famous in our district. People came especially to watch us. And I used to love it when we heard them saying, 'There go the girls who beat boys.'

I am fully prepared to fight with any opponent in my category from any team.

Dangal' movie has been made on our lives in which two daughters win a medal for the country. It just shows that the times are changing and people's attitudes are changing and if it is changing because of us then we are very happy about it.

I am very happy that Indian women are making their mark in sports be is Sakshi Malik or even PV Sindhu who also won a medal for the country. We talk about women empowerment and there cannot be any bigger example than this.

Wrestling is different from other sports. It is not just about physical strength. It is more of a mind game as during matches we have to read the mind of opponents and outwit them.

Thanks to my training in Balali village, I am rough and tough.

Honestly, I have not done any preparation for 'Khatron ka Khiladi.'

In real life I have conquered my worst fears by fighting and beating bigger wrestlers in dangal. So I am not afraid of anything.

If Sakshi can be successful in her field, so can any other woman in our country.

I hope Indian parents will allow girls to choose their own destiny.

Usually, it is the men who are given importance. But now, people view women wrestlers as equals.

We have won laurels for the country in wrestling but still, in spite of winning medals, not many people recognised us.

It is a very proud moment for our entire family that a movie has been made on our lives and we have taken a small village of Haryana to Hollywood.

Dangal has changed our lives.

Before Babita and my win at the CommonWealth Games, nobody used to take Indian women wrestlers seriously.

I have seen my father defying societal norms and investing his time and energy on us. He was ridiculed and criticised by the community for asking girls to seek a career in wrestling. But he had vision and was least worried when elders warned him his daughters would not find grooms. I had to wrestle for him and that motivated me tremendously.

It was my father's passion actually. I had never wished to become a wrestler. I was 12 when my father initiated me into this sport. Gradually, I started liking it and then it became my passion too.

Wrestling will always be my top priority.

If all girls turn strong within themselves, men with bad intentions can be taught apt lessons.

Yes, I have watched 'Dangal.' Fatima has done a brilliant job.
