In the heart of Karnataka, in the humble towns of Bangarpet and Kolar, a young girl named Khudsiya Naseer—known to the world today as Khushi—faced a childhood filled with unimaginable struggles. She lost her father at the tender age of two and was labeled “unlucky” by her own family. The emotional toll of her circumstances was compounded by societal criticism and personal tragedies. Yet, Khushi’s resilience turned these adversities into stepping stones to greatness.

Fast forward to today, Khushi stands tall as a global icon in weightlifting, an advocate for women’s empowerment, and an inspiration for millions. From being the first Muslim woman in India to win international medals in weightlifting to lifting 300 kilograms—a world record achieved after a C-section delivery—Khushi’s achievements are as groundbreaking as they are motivational.

Her journey didn’t stop at sports. Khushi’s speech at Harvard University captivated a global audience with her vision of empowering women and transforming society. As a true visionary, she continues to push boundaries, with plans to pull a Boeing 777 airplane—a feat no woman has ever accomplished.

Khushi’s story is a reminder that with determination, faith, and self-belief, no obstacle is insurmountable.At end it is all about Rising beyond the Adversities
