Sandhya Shetty: The Karate Kid

‘Kick’ing her way to fame.


We’ve heard of beauty with brains. But have you heard of beauty with brains and brawn? Well, Sandhya Shetty is all that and more. The actress has just won the Gold in the State Karate Championship organised by the Maharashtra Karate Association and she will now go on to represent the State at the Nationals.

If getting the Gold was a high, being congratulated by sensei Vispy Kapadia (who incidentally is her sensei’s (Sallaudin Ansari) sensei) was her ultimate high.

While actresses of late have been training in karate when the role demands it, this babe began learning it just for kicks (pun intended) three years ago and somewhere down the line got serious about the sport.

Today, she is a brown belt with not an ounce of fat on her body. She finds time for her rigorous training inspite of her ramp walk, hosting shows, modelling assignments and film shoots. She’s now really ready to ‘kick’ some butt on screen!
