About Me
Hailing from Kozhikode, Kerala, I am a Dentist turned Powerlifting World Champion. My journey began in college when I took a boxing class while studying dentistry. I decided to pursue powerlifting after seeing that Muslim women could compete while wearing a hijab - something very important to me. Starting in July 2016, I've achieved numerous national and international championships, becoming a multiple-time World Champion and winning Best Lifter Awards.
In 2021, I participated in Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 3, showcasing my journey and inspiring others. I balance my dental practice with my passion for powerlifting, proving that with dedication, you can excel in multiple fields.
