Who is Majiziya Bhanu?

In 2020, powerlifter Majiziya Bhanu won the Best Lifter Award in the World Powerlifting Association’s World Cup held in Moscow. As reported by The Bridge, Bhanu opened up about her journey at We The Women convention and also recalled the nasty comments that came her way for playing the sport with a hijab. Amid her interaction, Majiziya mentioned that her mother always stood up for her and she is the reason why she also finished her BDS, Bachelor of Dental Surgery, despite her family and relatives being against it. 

As per the report, it was in 2016 when Bhanu took an interest in the sport of boxing while she was in her third year of college. At that time, she wore braces and realised that she couldn't enter the ring with them on and hence, she switched to powerlifting and won the Strong Woman Of Kerala Award thrice in a row. Apart from this, she also bagged the Asian Powerlifting Championship Award in 2017. In the same interaction, Majiziya remarked that she is a Muslim from Malabar, Kerala, which is a very conservative vicinity and added that it was hard for her to be into sports.
