He's an Olympic silver medallist.

A bronze medallist at the World Wrestling Championships.

And a back-to-back two-time gold medallist at the Asian Wrestling Championships.

Ravi Kumar Dahiya, who is just 23, is clearly not afraid of challenges, whether it's wrestling on the world stage or walking the ramp at a fashion show.

Dahiya was the showstopper for Designer Mohammed Mazhar's FDCI x Lakme Fashion Week collection. 

Infusing life into a monochromatic canvas, the collection turned the spotlight on the untold story of India's cot weavers.
