Although Antim displayed a natural affinity for the sport, her father Ram Niwas initially hesitated. However, with persistent requests from Antim’s coach Roshni Devi, Ram Niwas eventually relented. And wholeheartedly supported her endeavours. Initially, he commuted with Antim and Sarita on their 20km daily trips to the Mahavir Stadium in Hisar City. Later, he arranged for the siblings to reside near the training centre and eventually relocated the entire family there.

Gradually, Ram Niwas built a house in the city, complete with a cattle shed. “The buffaloes were non-negotiable. If my daughter had to wrestle, she had to get the best diet, and I didn’t trust the milk you get in cities,” Ram Niwas explained to The Hindu. Admitting that it was a significant risk, he acknowledged that the move paid off immensely. Not just for the family but also for Indian wrestling. Supported wholeheartedly by her family, Antim Panghal quickly made her mark on the wrestling mat.
