Sakshi Malik’s Memoir: An Honest Account of a Wrestling Icon’s Journey
Sakshi Malik, one of India’s most celebrated women wrestlers, is set to release her highly anticipated memoir, “Witness,” in October. Co-authored by Jonathan Selvaraj and published by Juggernaut Books, the book promises an “honest account” of Malik’s life, both on and off the mat.
From her humble beginnings in Rohtak to her historic bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Malik’s memoir chronicles her journey with raw honesty. She delves into the challenges she faced as a woman wrestler in India, including body image issues, financial struggles, and the complexities of dating.
Malik also sheds light on the inner workings of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), revealing the recent public battle that played out on the streets of New Delhi. Her insights into the world of women’s wrestling in India are both fascinating and eye-opening.
“It’s a really honest account of my life – the highs, lows, and everything in between,” Malik says of her literary venture. “I gave this book my all and I hope readers like it.”
Chiki Sarkar, publisher of Juggernaut Books, describes “Witness” as “one of the great memoirs of our time.” She adds, “Sakshi has written a no-holds barred book that not only talks about her struggles with the WFI but also brings vividly alive her childhood, the world of wrestling, and what it takes to be an Olympic medalist.”
Malik’s memoir is a testament to her resilience, determination, and unwavering spirit. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the world of sports, women’s empowerment, and the human journey.
