The kind of discipline that the women athletes follow, the kind of routine that they follow, they're superheroes, honestly. I think I feel really grateful that I have this platform as an actor."

"I want to empower women because I get empowered by watching these women play on the field or even in my industry every day, and get empowered and get motivated to be better at representing them and just being myself. As an actor, I follow a very disciplined life. I would encourage and I would want women to just be themselves unapologetically. For the upcoming players, just be confident. Try whatever you feel like trying. Do whatever you want to do. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it, ever," added Sanya.

Her dedication for Dangal was incredible. It's not easy to train like an athlete for a year. This interview is very motivating. Fitness is not just for looks, it's about mental discipline too. Good message.

Respect. It's refreshing to see a Bollywood star talk about discipline and hard work instead of just glamour. Our women cricketers deserve all this spotlight and more.

As someone who follows both Bollywood and sports, this crossover is amazing. The energy at the WPL is electric! Sanya's words about being "unapologetically yourself" really hit home.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope this inspires real, sustained change. Often celebrities speak about fitness fads, but the athlete's life of discipline is a 24/7 commitment. Let's see more actors taking up sports roles that require this level of prep.

"I still somewhere try and match that life" – this is so relatable! Once you experience that level of fitness, you always chase it. Great interview. More actresses should talk about strength over size.
