Mangalore Today News Network

Kerala, Mar 07, 2018 : Most people were shocked when Majiziya Bhanu was announced the winner in the women’s category of the  Mr. Kerala competition in Kochi recently.

 

 

But the one most stumped was Majiziya herself. She had entered the bodybuilding circuit, which is mostly a male bastion, and managed to reconstruct the familiar image of the woman bodybuilder. The 23-year-old posed in a veil (hijab), probably the only woman in the State to do so. And, it was her first time in such a contest.

The last one-and-a-half years were eventful for Majiziya, a final year BDS student from Orkatteri in Kozhikode. As a child, she was into athletics and other sports and had maintained a strong physique.
