Shweta Rathore will be first Indian to compete in the World Championship to be held in Hungary in October.
"This is a proud moment for me and my country. I am vigorously taking all types of training to win the title at the championship. But I am sorry to add that our government is not paying any attention to provide us major support," Shweta said.
"All government departments be it health or sports ministry is only after the film stars for appointing them a brand ambassador. At least these ministries should promote people like us. Body building is a costly affair. Without our government's help and support, we cannot be well prepared and achieve better results," she said.Â
