'This is the story of UP’s Ankita Singh. Besides being a bodybuilder she has also won Miss Karnataka and is a 2 time ‘Miss India Bikini’ bronze winner. But Ankita did not receive the recognition and respect she deserved. Her family disowned her for wearing a bikini for the competition. Ankita Singh comes from a small village in Mirzapur, UP where educating girls is not a priority.  Even slightly educated girls face the pressure from their families to get married by the time they reach the age of 22-23. Ankita would have been one of them but fate had something else in store for her. Ankita went to see a gym in 2008 and decided to join for fitness. #AnkitaSingh #Bodybuilder #Inspiration #Girls   Bringing you stories that matter to our generation.
