She bounces off trouble at disc

Amandeep Kaur has created ripples in the party circuit. No, she isn’t a model or an actor, but standing tall at 5 feet 7 inches and weighing 65 kg, she has opened up a whole new Amandeep Kaurcareer option for women to follow by being city’s only known bouncer.

With chiselled looks, this 22-year-old may seem unlikely for the task at hand but apart from oozing oodles of confidence, she sure knows her job well. “Since childhood, I have wanted to do challenging jobs that men do.

Having been treated like a son at home, I never feared boys and always challenged them even while in school and college,” said Amandeep whose love for hockey and kabbadi helped build her stamina.

But becoming a bouncer was incidental. "My friends and I were once teased by a guy and though I didn’t let him get away with it, I realized that I needed to be physically stronger," said Amandeep, recalling entering Score, a discotheque, in Chandigarh after the incident.

"There I was overpowered with the feeling of teaching all eve-teasers a lesson so that they wouldn’t ever dare pass lewd comments at women."

It wasn’t an easy decision, though. "I couldn’t find a single woman bouncer and that reinforced my decision to do the job," said Amandeep who now fends off troublemakers at Score. Hoping that every woman at the disc enjoys equally as her male counterpart without feeling insecure, Amandeep said, "Girls think my job is cool and they are happy to have me around. They come to me saying that my presence makes them feel secure."

She knows that to keep pace with a man's profession, she has to be physically strong and, therefore, never gives her gym sessions or martial arts practice a miss.
