Welcome to Cyrus Says!

On this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha is joined by Hetal Dave, India’s first female sumo wrestler, and actor Shriyam Bhagnani, who plays her in the new biopic, 'Sumo Didi.'

Hetal takes us through her extraordinary journey from judo to discovering sumo wrestling, teaching herself the sport through research, training without a proper coach or system in India, reaching out to international federations, travelling abroad to compete, and fighting for recognition in a sport that almost nobody around her understood.

Shriyam opens up about what it took to portray Hetal authentically, from intense physical training and learning judo and sumo to working with real international wrestlers and pushing her body through demanding shoot schedules.The conversation also explores women in contact sports, the lack of support for non-mainstream athletes in India, the misconceptions around sumo wrestling, the making of 'Sumo Didi', and why Hetal’s story can inspire young women to pursue unconventional paths.

Plus, Cyrus shares his own memories of seeing Hetal train years ago at Oval Maidan, long before she became an international athlete with a biopic based on her life.
