For me, Hindu-Muslim doesn't matter: Boxer Nikhat Zareen makes BIG statement
Zee News
A lot has been spoken about how Nikhat Zareen, who comes from an orthodox society, had to overcome societal prejudice to make a career in boxing. But the 25-year-old has made it clear she's not fighting for a particular community, but fights and wins for India.
World champion boxer Nikhat Zareen says she represents her country and not the community she belongs to. The pugilist spoke her mind when asked about people talking more about her religious background than her hard work and achievements in the ring.
''As an athlete, I'm here to represent India. For me, Hindu-Muslim doesn't matter. I'm not representing a community but my country. Happy to win a medal for my country,'' Zareen said.
