Chennai: A video of Nisha, a newly married 22-year old woman performing martial arts, while clad in a saree has taken the internet by storm. Married on June 28th in her hometown Tuticorin in southern Tamil Nadu, Nisha staged the performance to a large gathering of villagers, right after tying the knot.
With her deft moves and daring precision, she performed traditional Tamil martial art forms ‘Surulvaal’, ‘Silambam’ and Adimurai. Despite being clad in a saree and complete wedding attire, she appeared at ease while performing the complex moves. That perfection is thanks to the martial arts training she is said to have been undergoing for several years.
