00:00When I decided to go out of Kashmir, because in Kashmir there were no opportunities and competitions for kids.

00:13No doubt I started my own academy for girls, so that when my parents had a fear that we don't want to train our children as a male coach.

00:25If you want us to send our girls to the ground, we need a female coach.

00:29There was one more girl with me who had helped me, worked on women's football.

00:35So we thought that we would license them so that we would get knowledge about football,

00:41what is the scope of football.

00:44We decided to do a license and coaching.

00:46We did a license and then we decided that the girls are coming and we should support them.

00:52But from my childhood I wanted to become a player.

00:56I wanted to become a coach.

00:57I wanted to play a level first.

00:59I wanted to represent myself where I am and how much hard work I have done for my game.

01:05So when I first played my professional match, no doubt it was not what my expectations were.

01:14But I got a seek from my professional match.

01:18I wanted to make my confidence and I wanted to keep my confidence high.

01:23And my dad never saw my game.

01:26Literally, I had to be disowned for a long time.

01:29I thought that we will not be able to support them.

01:33But when he saw me playing the first time, he literally cried.

01:37He cried so much.

01:38He cried so much.

01:39And in Mumbai, I had a great day.

01:43I had to keep my confidence high.

01:45And he hugged me like that.

01:47He said that I didn't know that you are so hard.

01:50You are so good.

01:51You are so good.

01:52You are so good.

01:53You are so good.

01:54You are so good.

01:55You are so good.

01:56You are so good.

01:57You are so good.

01:58That was the biggest achievement.

01:59Medals.

02:00Definitely.

02:01You will get hard work.

02:02You will get medals.

02:03But when you get the support of your family,

02:05which you need,

02:06that doesn't make any medal from any medal.

02:08So for me, it was the most special moment.

02:10And for me, it was the most proud moment.

02:12My dad recognized my job.

02:15People do it.

02:17But when your family recognized that,

02:19yes, the child has worked.

02:20And he has made his name himself.

02:22So he should support her.

02:23So for me, it was a big deal.

02:25When I won a medal in my professional game,

02:29trust me,

02:30I had never imagined that I could play with such great international players.

02:36But God gave us a prayer.

02:39And that's why I could do it.

02:42You know,

02:44in Kashmir,

02:46people judge the clothes.

02:49If a girl is a character,

02:51it will be like a girl.

02:53But no.

02:54We can't judge anyone from the clothes.

02:56And I don't go outside.

02:58I know.

02:59I follow my own religion.

03:01I am a Muslim girl.

03:03No doubt,

03:04that there are restrictions on our religion.

03:07But our religion has not been closed.

03:09That you can't do it.

03:11There are a few guidelines that you should follow.

03:14Definitely you can play.

03:15And society,

03:16my neighbors,

03:17I definitely want to say that.

03:18My society,

03:19my neighbors,

03:20I definitely want to say that.

03:21My society,

03:22but my neighbors,

03:23my neighbors,

03:24they started to support me first.

03:26They were very proud,

03:27that there was a girl from our area.

03:29And she is doing really great.

03:31Even though,

03:32when I was at home,

03:33my mom,

03:34dad,

03:35they were telling me,

03:36that you are very good.

03:37You should support me.

03:38But no doubt,

03:40if some people say good,

03:42then some people say bad.

03:43My relatives,

03:44like,

03:45there were a lot of people,

03:46who wanted to push me down,

03:47that I couldn't do anything.

03:49But,

03:50I am thankful to them,

03:52that they gave me that,

03:54that if you say,

03:56that I can't do it,

03:58that I can definitely do it.

03:59And I will prove it to you.

04:01Society,

04:03when I had a jersey pack,

04:06we had a lot of struggles,

04:09on the ground.

04:10We didn't have a changing room.

04:12We didn't have difficulties.

04:13We had a lot of difficulties.

04:15that we had,

04:16we could go to our jersey,

04:17shots.

04:18And,

04:20we could go to that,

04:21topic.

04:24when we went down,

04:26we were not going to go there.

04:27We could travel,

04:29as well.

04:30I would have to keep wearing a jersey,

04:32all of it.

04:33And we were going off,

04:34so that when we were going to see,

04:35we would have been traveling,

04:36all of it.

04:37And,

04:38finally,

04:39there was a

04:39Sports Secretary of R,

04:41Wahidur Rehmanpere,

04:42when we were getting hurt.

04:43Now,

04:44help me, I mean if they don't happen at that time, definitely I don't have to be here

04:50because they said that if you need someone to go further, you need that moral support,

04:59financial support, if you have that moral support, then you can go further,

05:04so that was a moral support for me, that they always pushed me,

05:09so that was a moral support for me, even though I told them that this is not a moral support,

05:18I always used to say no worries, you will get it,

05:27no doubt within no time, we would get all the things,

05:30so I will always thank him, that I will always thank him,

05:40that I will always thank him, that because of that, the boys,

05:43the football journey, the life of the football,

05:47it was very easy, because families,

05:50there will be a lot of change here, I am talking about the time,

05:54when I started,

05:56when I started,

05:58when I was a little teacher,

06:00I would always ask,

06:01when I was a child,

06:03because of that,

06:05I knew that,

06:06I didn't have a team here,

06:08there was no football team,

06:09I was always trained with the kids,

06:12so that I could make myself better,

06:14because of that,

06:15the level of kids,

06:17was definitely good,

06:19There were many girls who supported me and said to me we could not reach the same way but what are we going to do?

06:31But if you are with God, you will definitely support me.

06:35I always wanted to play in mid or in defense.

06:42but like the coach that I mentioned Dar Abdullah was himself a goalkeeper and mashaAllah my height is better

06:51so he said that this height is best for keepers and if you become a keeper you will go very far

06:57but I didn't have any interest so when I was training they would keep me training

07:01and I would keep my goalpost and run and run so they would go very far

07:07so then we had a course running, there is one renowned footballer from Jomu and Kashmir, Sajid Usofdar

07:16we were sitting in the course and the course was finished

07:22and let me say that he said that you are training on goalkeeper

07:26so I said yes sir

07:28so he showed me a goalkeeper's video

07:31she was a US goalkeeper, Hope Solo

07:34I mean, watching his training videos and his match videos, I was so inspired

07:39that was the day when I had taken care of that

07:42now I became a keeper

07:43because I felt like a keeper is the easiest job in football

07:47keepers don't have to do much more

07:50he is standing on goalposts

07:52but actually when I got into that

07:54as a goalkeeper

07:57it was the easiest job in goalkeeper's

08:01goalkeeper's injuries

08:02and the toughest job

08:03because most of the most of the biggest job

08:05because if the striker

08:0810 goals

08:09and 1

08:10then

08:11the 10

08:12mistakes

08:13but

08:14if

08:15we have 10

08:16save

08:17and 1

08:18exceed

08:19saves, no one can see that we have given so good saves, but it remains a goal for people.

08:24So that's why I decided that I will always become a goalkeeper.

08:29And I also wanted to take advantage of my height.

08:32Because in Indian women's football, there was no height for anyone.

08:37So I also wanted to take advantage of that.

08:40There were a lot of things.

08:42I mean, there was an opportunity when you go along with a plan.

08:47So my coach wanted to become a striker, a midfielder.

08:53But no one wants to become a goalkeeper.

08:55And you will get less competition.

08:57But that was less competition here.

08:59But when I went out, I saw that the biggest beat is the goalkeeper.

09:05And then I wanted to take advantage of that goalkeeper.

09:10And I wanted to take advantage of that goalkeeper.

09:13And I thought that it was hard.

09:15But I also wanted to take advantage of that goalkeeper.

09:17And I wanted to take advantage of that goalkeeper.

09:19But I wanted to take advantage of that goalkeeper.

09:21He wanted to take advantage of that goalkeeper.

09:23I was happy that there had a Apostles of $1,000,

09:24Be sure to take advantage of that goalkeeper came away.

09:26And

09:45You
