ISSUE 01 | JANUARY 2020 FROM STUNT RIDER TO A BRAND ANAM HASHIM After completing the 18 days of Himalaya ride, my life got changed entirely; people started to recognize me; many events began calling me, I started getting more and more followers in SOCIAL MEDIA. BIKERS CLUB ® | MAGAZINE | PAGE 12 I have many plans for this sport. I am working with the government to establish a governing body for stunt riding, which many countries have it. I hope one day I will succeed in that as well. Because I was the youngest and only female stunt rider in the country, more and more brands started approaching me, I was feeling like a top of the world. TVS signed me as their BRAND AMBASSADOR for their Scooty, and they made my video recordings of Himalaya ride into an advertisement, which ran on every platform for a year, that completely changed the game. I no longer remained as a female stunt rider from small-town Lucknow, but became a brand "THE ANAM HASHIM." There was no turning back from there. And the next year, I was again signed by TVS for Himalaya ride, but this time not only me riding solo but was chosen to lead the group of 10 other female riders who were selected by their online forum. I never knew that my single solo ride with TVS Scooty would bring these many changes. Really "UPARWALA JAB BHI DETA HAI, CHAPPAR PHAAD KE DETA HAI." LIFE GIVES WANT ; IT ' S TO BE YOU WHAT YOU JUST YOU HAVE PATIENT AND PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND KEEP WALKING As I mentioned, my life was never easy, a small- town girl with riding ambitions without having any support from family and that too in this field, which is utterly unorganized and without having any governing body who can name it as a sport. But still, I never gave up and kept walking to achieve my dreams. With the grace of Almighty, I am still in Pune, away from my family, and working hard to keep the expectations of the brands which are associated with me and for myself. And I hope and pray that one day my family too will understand and accept my dreams. All the success which I have got till now, I give full credit to Almighty and my dad, who taught me how to ride, because that was the inception. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE BOY, OR A GIRL BECAUSE A BIKE DOESN'T KNOW YOUR GENDER So if you are a girl or a woman who is passionate about riding, and if the world is doubting because of your gender then tell them to BUZZ OFF...
