Congratulating this young talent and her exceptional victory in a field which is perceived to be a male-dominated sport, Megha Chakraborty and Jiya Shankar from Sony SAB\u2019s Kaatelal &amp; Sons have a special message for Rishitaa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Megha Chakraborty congratulating Rishitaa Jain on her path breaking victory, said, <\/strong><em>\u201cThis win is a moment of pride for all the girls and women out there. There is nothing that women cannot accomplish, and I am a strong believer that you can accomplish it if you set your mind on something. There are still such set notions about gender based roles mainly about what women should or should not do. Our show Kaatelal &amp; Sons which stands strongly on defeating gender stereotypes and un-gendering your dreams is a true testament for Rishitaa\u2019s victory. While we are bringing forth a story about Garima and Susheela\u2019s journey of un-gendering their dreams and wishes, Rishitaa has accomplished it in reality and I am immensely proud of this accomplishment. She is a true example for all the women and I congratulate her on this remarkabletriumph. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Jiya Shankar, stoked about Rishitaa\u2019s phenomenal accomplishment, expressed, <\/strong><em>\u201cI would like to congratulate Rishitaa for everything she has achieved so far . This win is the perfect example of following your dreams and passion without giving in to \u00a0our society&#8217;s set notions towards gender roles. Rishitaa truly personified the message of\u2013 Ungender your dreams. In some ways, Rishitaa\u2019s passion is like my screen role of Susheela. She is tough and strong and she would strive hard to make her dreams come true. Not only has she conquered a male-dominated sport like powerlifting, but she has also proved the fact that dreams and passion have no constraints. More power to you girl and I wish her all the very best for her future wins.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Why Only Rasoda?
