Now my grandmother, who used to want sons, says that she does not really want boys anymore. She says I'm the lion of the family.

After our life history was shown on the silver screen and much appreciated by the audiences, I have more of a responsibility on my shoulders now.

Visiting Spain does not excite me as much as making my parents proud does.

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

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

Wrestling will always be my top priority.

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.

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.

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

Dangal has changed our lives.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.'

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 are proud to be role models.

What do sharks do on Monday mornings? They get up and start biting. That's me.

I think it's acceptable to eat custard on Sundays.

I see ghosts all the time, all the time.

I bought myself a bike in isolation and a helmet and I love it. It's built my confidence up because not everyone is confident in exercise.

I'm a massive fan of the dictionary.

I can do Tarot cards and all that.

I've been so lucky with everything that has happened to me.

I'm always surrounded by crazy people, but when I come back to the country I'm into my plants, I love gardening, I love bird watching and I absolutely love nature.

I believe there are lizards living amongst us. Do these humans who appear to be humans and look like us and act like us, go into the tunnels where their human faces, their human bodies - do they retract back into being lizards when they go into the tunnels?

I take no notice of trolls because my bank balance is growing and growing and growing and growing - they can troll me all they want.

I can remember I lost three and a half stone weight loss. It was painful, it was excruciating, it was hell. I had to exercise eight hours a day. It was very tiring, very exhausting. I came away seeing exercise as punishment.

I am as I am, and I ain't gonna apologise for it.

If I was 10st, I would look highly unattractive - it would be damaging to my body.

I'm a witch, I'm up all night, this is no joke.

I'm not some beg voiceover. I'm a serious customer.

People have got to stop fat-shaming and writing bad stuff. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be around for a long time. Get over the weight thing and look at yourself.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't need to explain my outfits.

I can take the mick out of myself so whatever anyone has got to say about me I still find it funny.

I have a team of cleaners, in case one is off sick or goes on holiday.

Dark witches focus on dark magic, black magic and all kinds of horrible things. I don't believe white witches have warts on them either, or pointy noses.

I got offered to do a book yeah, and they said to me, 'Gem, you're so busy, how about we get someone to walk around with you with a dictaphone,' and that's how we did it.

I honestly think I was put on the Earth to be some sort of prophet.

The difference between white witches and dark witches is that a white witch is very spiritual, into nature and can make magic happen. That is me.

I feel very in tune with the spiritual world and no one understands it unless you have got that intuition.

I like to cook, I like nature, I like to read. I do like to shop, don't get me wrong, every now and then.
