She got her bravery from her grandmother, Machli. Her calm and composed demeanour was from her mother, T-19, also known as the Jhalra Female and a wild charm that was her own,\u201d the website noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrue to her name, she has a distinctive arrow-shaped mark on her left cheek, similar to her grandmother\u2019s.
