MUMBAI: Anjali Rawat has been an NCC cadet, stepped into the boxing ring early on, and built a quiet strength that goes beyond just physical power. But one of the most striking things about her is how early she started giving back.
When she was just 18, she began coaching table tennis to underprivileged kids—for free. There wasn’t a big plan behind it, no cameras or announcements. She just saw a chance to share something she loved and went for it. It wasn’t about waiting for the “right time”—she made do with what she had and did what she could.
Behind that strength, though, there’s been a lot of pain. Anjali recently shared the story of her brother, who died during a flood. He was out with friends when he got swept away in the water. The part that really stays with you is that her mother still believes he’s alive. That kind of hope is hard to put into words—it’s heavy, and it never really goes away.
For the unversed, She’s one of the standout participants on Battleground right now. She was originally part of Asim Riaz’s team, but after things got complicated between the gang leaders, her journey took a turn. Who’ll guide her next is still up in the air. But Asim clearly saw something in her—and so do a lot of others.
