Hero Hockey India League: At only 22, Beauty Dungdung bears a heavy burden. Currently, she is training intensely at the Indian Women’s Hockey Team's national camp in Bengaluru. However, returning to the turf has been the toughest challenge she has faced.

Beauty recalls, "It took me around two years to rebound," reflecting on her serious knee injury in 2023. She spent months in rehab, questioning whether she would return to play for India. However, the physical pain was minor compared to the heartbreak off the field. During her difficult recovery, she also lost her father.

“My father passed away during my injury period. I was going back and forth between home and the camp, and so much was happening at once,” she shares. “There were times when I really doubted if a comeback would even happen.”
