Outside of the gym Ashwini Waskar looks like any other Indian girl-next-door. But beneath her traditional dress, the 32-year-old has a rippling physique that is worshiped onstage at prestigious bodybuilding competitions. Just a year ago Ashwini was overweight and unhappy with her body. But after embarking on a gruelling weightlifting routine and a high-protein diet she shed the extra pounds and developed impressive rock-hard muscles. Ashwini has now quit her job as a senior research fellow at the Central Institute of Fisheries Education to concentrate on bodybuilding. <br /> <br />Videographer / Director: Deepak Thomas <br />Producer: Aamir Bashir, Chloe Browne <br />Assistant Producer: Neha Routela <br />Editor: Sonia Estal <br /> <br />For more compelling footage of the amazing side of life: <br /> <br />FACEBOOK: Like Barcroft TV - <br />Follow @Barcroft_TV - <br />For licensing & business enquiries, <br />visit the Barcroft TV site - <br />http://www.barcroft.tv/
