There is no challenge a grandma bowling in saree cannot conquer. Many elderly women in India have their entire lives, traipsed around in a saree doing everything, from the most mundane to the most complex. From cooking to travelling to sports in their traditional attire, these women prove that neither clothing nor age should be a barrier in doing what one really wants to.
A video of one such grandma is going viral on the internet. Clad in a bright yellow saree and masked up, she hunches over and serves an effortless strike knocking down all the pins, and leaving viewers stunned.
Her grandson, Sudarshan Krishnamurthy, posted the video Hi Twitter, please appreciate my grandma bowling a strike in her saree, and then proceeding to ensure her mask covers her nose#QueenShit, if you ask me! 👸🏽 pic.twitter.com/T3g4x5dpbk

Twitter has erupted in praise for the woman, lauding her easy style and poise that she doesn't lose for even one moment after bowling a strike.
"Amazing Grandma. Skill, Saree, social responsibility (mask) - too much Indianness at once," one user wrote. "Woah!! She just equalled my career strikes in a Saree. Respect ++" another wrote. "Sudarshan your Grandma is the hope and spirit we are searching around all the time. I wish her a long life," said one user.

Grandma Bowling In Saree Breaks Down Age Barriers And Dress Stereotypes
In shattering societal stereotypes, that restrict women from following their passions once they reach a certain age, the grandma in the viral video joins other women of her league making rules of their own.
Where yesteryear actors like Waheeda Rehman and Asha Parekh are living life on their own terms, holidaying and scuba diving, common citizens like Urmila Jamnadas Asher are running their own snack businesses and many content creators over 50 years of age continue to make the internet a more colourful space.
