I started my journey of martial arts from school time as I was never particularly interested in studies and always looked only towards sports activities
I started off with Yoga and then my interest shifted on to being an athlete, 100 meters’ sprint, high jump, 400 meters hurdles being my forte.
One day i saw some guys practicing kicks and punches, wearing white uniforms and i I got to know that it's a form of martial arts called Taekwondo. . I had an instinctive feeling that this is what my true calling was I i told my family about my decision and especially my mother was really supportive and my martial arts journey kick started.
Yoga helped me with my flexibility whereas my athletic background helped me with my endurance and strength and within a few years i got many recognitions in Taekwondo competitions
Was just focusing on my training day after day and year after year, when one day I got a call from Ram Gopal Varma, who somehow found out about me to ask if i could come to Mumbai to meet him.
That one meeting with him changed my life and made it take a very different turn... RGV is obsessed with Bruce Lee and his philosophy and through Rgv’s understanding of him. I too got hooked onto BRUCE LEE and started learning the particular fighting style of Bruce Lee called JEET KUNE DO to prepare myself for my role in LADKI
No one in the world, ever can be BRUCE LEE but I am thrilled with the opportunity of getting to do the role of BRUCE LEE’S biggest fan in my debut film LADKI
As Bruce Lee himself said, we are all here for a short time in life and the best times of our lives are even more shorter ..Being wise is not only for one to live one’s life in the best way possible, but it is also to live it in a way, what you yourself think is best for you.
It is impossible that any of us can satisfy everyone else around us and actually in the process of trying to do that is, when you will lose your own individuality and your uniqueness.
I consider my body and my fighting skills as my most valued possessions along with my dedication and my perseverance
All these I take them as God or nature given attributes and i worked very hard on making them my strengths.
First time ever on screen, I am getting an opportunity to show my body not just as a sensual female body but in a power equation as much as male action stars like Tiger Shroff, Hrithik Roshan etc and here I have an opportunity to make a style statement on behalf of all like-minded women
I believe that a woman’s ultimate weapon is being a woman and that includes her sensual quotient and that also is a truest example for the ultimate woman empowerment
Woman empowerment is not about equal opportunities for a woman at work, but it’s also about treating her sensuality with respect and give it it’s due respect.
Through my photos, videos, songs and films, I want to push the limits of my capacity to make powerful weapons out of every part of mine whether it’s my body or my spirit or my skills or my sensuality by applying an intense but extremely disciplined determination.
Lastly I quote the legend himself
“No Limit Should Be Your Limit “
Bruce Lee

इस फिल्म के माध्यम से राम गोपाल वर्मा ऐसे पहले फिल्ममेकर बन गये हैं जिन्होंने चीन की ऊंची दीवार को लांघते हुए इस फिल्म को भारत के साथ-साथ चीन में प्रदर्शित करने का ज़िम्मा उठाया है. फ़िल्म की रिलीज़ से पहले राम गोपाल वर्मा ने फ़िल्म के हिंदी और चीनी ट्रेलर को अपने आधिकारिक यूट्यूब पर अपलोड किया है. उल्लेखनीय है कि फिल्म के ट्रेलर को दर्शकों के साथ-साथ दोनों इंडस्ट्री से जुड़े लोगों की भी ख़ूब वाहवाही मिल रही है.
राम गोपाल वर्मा कहते हैं, "मैंने सरकार के ज़रिए 'द गॉड फ़ादर' को ट्रिब्यूट दिया था. उसी तरह से मैंने पूजा भालेकर को लेकर बनाई गई फ़िल्म 'लड़की - एंटर द ड्रैगन गर्ल' के माध्यम से ब्रूस ली को लेकर बनाई गई विश्व की सबसे महान मार्शल आर्ट्स फ़िल्म 'एंटर द ड्रैगन' को विनम्र आदरांजलि देने की कोशिश है."
ग़ौरतलब है कि पिछले साल गलवान घाटी में भारत और चीन के बीच हुई हिंसक झड़प के बाद 'एक लड़की : एंटर द गर्ल ड्रैगन' चीन में रिलीज की जानेवाली पहली भारतीय फ़िल्म होने का गौरव हासिल करेगी.

जागतिक पर्यावरण दिनाच्या आदल्या दिवशी गायिका सानिया सईदने ‘तुझसे नाराज नहीं जिंदगी‘ गाणे गात पृथ्वी वाचवण्यासाठी वृक्षारोपण करण्याची गरज असल्याचे सांगत वृक्षारोपण केले.
आर. डी. बर्मन यांनी गुलजार यांच्या गीताने संगीतबद्ध केलेले लता मंगेशकर यांनी गायलेले मूळ गाणे आज वृक्ष आणि वनस्पती यांच्या रुपाने प्रतिध्वनीत दिसत आहेत. आपले भविष्य यावर अवलंबून असल्याने आपल्याला आपले पर्यावरण जपण्याची गरज आहे, असे यावेळी सानियाने बोलताना सांगितले. "मी लताजींच्या आवाजावर मोठी झाली आहे. त्या माझ्या आदर्श आहेत. मी लताजींना मानवंदना देत आहे आणि मला आशा आहे की ती ऐकून त्यांना आवडेल, लाखो लोकांना प्रेरणा देण्याची शक्ती असल्यामुळे मी हे गाणे निवडले." असेही सानिया यावेळी म्हणाली.
