6 Fashionable Indian Sports Divas, Playing their Way, In Style

Hola people!!! Brrrrrrrr…It’s Winter Time!!!

We often associate Bollywood with fashion, but there is yet another field, where we have seen fashionistas emerging every now and then, sports. Wait. What? You don’t believe me? Just hold on, and sit back, because you are now in for a fashion treat, across boundaries. These lasses are not just eye candies, they are mightily talented, have won their countries many laurels, and at the core, know how to win hearts, be it their sport, or their style. Some of them have even walked the ramp, oozing the same charisma, with which they have ruled the court. Let’s begin.

Sania Mirza, 28 – Tennis

She was the one, who glamorized a sport like tennis and took it to another level, in a country, where any other sport apart from cricket, was not even worth talking about. She is not only a smashing player on court, but also an intelligent woman, with a superb sense of style. Sania has never been shy of making ramp appearances, and we love her for giving kickass answers to those who questioned her nationality. You go girl! We love the way you play, we love your style and we love your attitude. She is a true pin up star, for tennis, in India.

Anjum Chopra, 37 – Cricket

A girl with a bat in her hand from the age of 9. Sounds crazy, right? Meet Anjum Chopra. She held the bat once, and never gave it up again. In a country where cricket is only identified as a man’s game, she carved a niche for herself, made her debut at the age of 17 in the test cricket, and captained the team at the age of 23. We all know her talents as a sports star, and a subsequent commentator. Honestly, it was such a relief to have a lady on board who was not just an eye candy. Instead, we have Anjum, who not only exudes charm with her looks and dressing sense, but also is an expert commentator on the subject. A gorgeous beauty, with a terrific brain and talent to match it with.

Heena Sidhu, 25 – Shooter

In our country, not many are in favor of letting their daughters have a go at something like shooting, with a pistol in their hands. After all, a girl’s hands are meant to handle dolls, have to be tender enough to cook, and soft enough to look beautiful with mehendi on her hands, so why ruin that with a pistol? Apparently, Heena’s parents had a different opinion. This young lady from Punjab, is a dentist by degree, but had her heart set on blasting off the targets, ever since her school days. With a father and uncle, who are in the same field, it runs in her blood, and looking at her fashion sense and looks, apparently that too, runs in the family. Her looks and shoots, both are bang on targets.

Mary Kom, 31 – Boxer

The first Indian boxer to get a Gold in the Asian Games, 2014, we are proud of our “Magnificent Mary”. This mother of 3 came from a very humble tribal background of Manipur. The way she has carved herself, and reached this phase in her life, is an admirable feat. Her fashion sense and style has remarkably improved, ever since her biopic has been released. The confidence an humbleness that she oozes, is a beautiful combination, along with the glow that comes from a woman, who is truly at the pinnacle of her career, and has a beautiful and lovable family to support her.

    1. Thanks Bakul 🙂 Like I said, cricket chod k baaki sab sports are not so popular here, specially female sports. Thanks to these divas, now we are slowly opening our minds to other sports as well. 😀

      1. yeah true, we don’t pay any attention to other sports or sportspersons. At least these divas will get the respective sport much needed attention. 😀

  1. Had never heard about the golf player, Sharmila and did not know some others too, but I hope that they keep up the good work and always make us proud! 🙂 Honestly, Mary Kom has become surprisingly popular, after the release of the movie, and I am very proud of her! But, I feel that now, others should receive the same recognition too! Lovely article, Kadambari :))

    1. Thanks Arpita 🙂 I feel that all of them are remarkable women. They have made a place for themselves in a man’s world, and I really hope we get to see more of them, and more females entering the sports world. 😀 😀 I think Mary Kom got the right kind of attention after her biopic was released. It’s high time these stars get their long due recognition 😀

  2. Beautifully written Kadambari! Usually girls who are into sports, though tomboyish, , have an aura and style of their own and are very confident and attractive. And those athletic toned frames only add extra goodness to their glowing personalities 🙂

    1. Thanks Tanvi 😀 Yes, you are absolutely right 😀 Even Deepika has that same athletic and confident aura, combined with her impeccable sense of style, as she too had been a sports person before her career on Bollywood. 😀 😀
