Divya's father once used to sell nappies: Reports say that 6-time Bharat Kesari Divya has won gold in the Senior National Wrestling Championship for the first time. Divya's father used to do the work of selling nappies. Divya had given her father a medal after the victory. Father Suraj was very happy with the daughter's achievement. He said that this is the most memorable time of my life. Now the expenses of the house are going to be run by the income of the daughter and not by selling my nappies. Divya did not look back after this and won the silver medal in Commonwealth Games 2018 by performing brilliantly.
