If I'm assuming that they used actors for the girls roles - how did they get them so good at wrestling? the wrestling scenes were incredible - really good wrestling = but did they use real wrestlers for the scenes? I dont understand how actors could have been that good at wrestling!

The girls of Dangal trained 8 months under Kripa Shankar Bishnoi(national wrestling coach) to perfect their wrestling moves. The others(uncredited) were real wrestlers from the akhadas of Haryana.
