CITY’S pride, Industrialist and former Mrs Universe Lovely winner Shilpa Agarwal has added another feather to her cap. She has won a gold medal at National Powerlifting Championship.
The event also served as selection trials for world meet and Shilpa’s yellow metal means that she has qualified for the World Power Lifting Championship which is going to be held in USA or Europe in coming months. Representing India and wearing Indian colours was always Shilpa’s childhood dream, which she has now realised.
Shilpa took to the sport of powerlifting, that consists of bench press, squats, dead lift just three years ago.
Always a fitness freak, Shilpa was earlier appointed as very prestigious ‘Fit India Campaign Brand Ambassador’ as part of ‘FIT India’ movement launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 29, 2019 on National Sports Day.
Shilpa was awarded Top Lady Industrialist by Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Industry Minister many times. She won Mrs India Globe and Mrs Universe Lovely title at Durban South Africa in 2017. She is also a marathon runner, dancer, model, actress and a social worker apart from being an industrialist.
“With Modiji launching ‘Fit India Movement’, I am sure every woman will take fitness very seriously and I hope to contribute my small bit in this noble cause. I will do my best in World Powerlifting Championship and will try to bring laurels to India and the Orange City,” said a confident Shilpa.
