Top 10 Indian Female Bodybuilders and Fitness Athletes

Bodybuilding is seen as the sport of Men, specially in India where bodybuilding as a sport for women is not widely accepted in the society. Even though bodybuilding is gaining popularity in India, Women’s bodybuilding is still in its infancy.

We will be frank that this list may not be as accurate as we wanted it to be. This is mainly due to lack of state level and national level competitions for Women’s in India. There are only handful of events that have dedicated women’s category. Hence it becomes very difficult to judge one against another. We have arrived at this list based on the performance of these athlete during last year.

Also, we  have mixed up both Bodybuilding and Fitness ( Or Physique Or Bikini model ) category in this list. This is a combined list of all these categories. Let us know your view, what you think about this ranking ?
