How an Obese Mom Became One of ICN Goa 2025’s Most Inspiring Athletes

By JaanoandSeekho Special Features Desk

When Strength Became Her Second Name

Never in her life did Tanu Jassal imagine that an overweight mom of twins could one day stand under the spotlight of a national bodybuilding stage. But on the iconic platform of ICN Goa 2025, she didn’t just stand — she owned it.

Her journey didn’t begin with a dream of medals or trophies.
It began in July 2020, with a simple, private wish:

“I just wanted to feel better about myself again.”

A few kilos dropped. A little confidence returned.
For the first time in years, she recognized her own reflection — one that looked hopeful, determined, alive.

And that was enough to change everything.

The Rise of a Relentless Woman

Weight training wasn’t love at first lift for Tanu.
But over time, it became her anchor, her therapy, her identity.

What began as a routine soon became a non-negotiable part of her life.
If she missed a workout, she didn’t feel guilty — she felt incomplete.

By 2025, the woman who once doubted herself had built a physique she never imagined possible. But what she built internally was far more powerful:

Resilience. Discipline. Identity. Power.

Motherhood, Muscle & Mindset

Tanu is a mother of twin daughters, and her transformation changed them too.
They saw a mother who no longer shrank to fit expectations — she expanded to redefine them.

Now they talk about nutrition.
They train.
They understand strength — not the kind measured in weights but the kind shaped in adversity.

Her daughters aren’t inheriting excuses.
They’re inheriting example.

ICN Goa 2025: The Moment the Journey Became a Movement

Stepping onto the ICN Goa 2025 stage wasn’t the culmination of her story — it was the beginning of a new chapter.

In a world where athletes often rise from privilege, Tanu rose from grit.
In a sport that celebrates bodies, she celebrated belief.

Her presence on that stage wasn’t just a personal victory.
It became a message to every Indian woman:

Strength has no age.
Confidence has no weight.
And courage looks best when worn with pride.
