THE FIRST FEMALE SNOWBOARDER FROM INDIA

Indian women in sports are kicking ass left, right and
center. Sadly, their victories are highlighted only during
a sports event like the Olympics or the World Cups (or if
Shah Rukh Khan does a movie where he teaches them

fun chat with us she revealed how she manages to do all
of this and much more!
