Short Doc - Meet Mahrun Nisha, India’s first “lady bouncer.”
This female bouncer was born to protect people. Meet Mahrun Nisha, India’s first “lady bouncer.” Her job involves breaking up brawls and tackling out-of-hand patrons at a nightclub in New Delhi. Just like her male counterparts, she stays in fighting shape by hitting the gym. Nisha is an inspiration to both men and women. Coming from a traditional Muslim family, her two sisters were married off as teenagers. Amazingly, she broke free and broke the glass ceiling in the process. “Girls were living in a cage of restrictions,” she said. “But now, we’re living our lives. Life feels better.”
