Asian Bronze Medallist wrestler Divya Kakran is undaunted and feisty. The 21-year-old girl speaks her mind, does what she believes in and doesn’t hesitate to stand up to even Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, whom she took on during a felicitation ceremony in New Delhi in September 2018 for not providing her with the support she had requested. Encouraged by her father, who wanted one of his children to become a famous wrestler, it is this fearlessness that pushed her to fight boys in dangals from the age of 10. And so the ‘Dangal Queen’ was born.
