In 2023, Parveen’s fists wrote history at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, where she clinched a bronze medal in the women’s 57kg category. Then, her semi-final clash against China’s Lin Yu-Ting was a spectacle of her fighting spirit, despite not clinching the win.
Off the ring, Parveen’s resilience shines just as bright. She’s been a pillar of strength for her father during his cancer battle, showcasing the same courage she displays in the ring, embodying the strength and love that POPxo celebrates. As she gears up for the 2024 Paris Olympics, Parveen carries with her not just the hopes of a nation but the essence of a modern woman who fights for her dreams with both elegance and power.
