The girls of India are constantly making the country proud and one more Indian daughter Vinesh Phogat has made all of us proud by winning the Gold medal in the Asian Games 2018 in the 50 Kg category. She has now become the only Indian woman wrestler to win Gold in Asian Games and also the first one to have won Gold in both Commonwealth and Asian games.
Vinesh is the cousin of Geeta and Babita Phogat who have also made country proud on the International levels. She is the daughter of Mahaveer Singh Phogat’s younger brother Rajpal. Both the brothers faced stiff opposition from the people of their society when they decided to train their daughters in wrestling. However, their hard work and resilience paid off and now all the girls are world-famous because of their game.
Social media is indeed flooded with congratulatory messages; however, one tweet from a celebrity grabbed everyone’s attention for obvious reasons.
Yes, you guessed it right! We are talking about none other than “Dangal” star Aamir Khan who played the character of Mahaveer Singh Phogat in the movie.
Aamir took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and wrote,
“Congratulations Vinesh for winning the Gold in the Asian Games. We are all so proud of you.
Love, Aamir and the team of Dangal.
Mhaari chhoriyan chhoron se kam hai ke!”

Vinesh’s cousin Geeta is also very happy with her achievement as she tweeted, “Proud moment 🇮🇳👏🏼👏🏼😇 Little sister Vinesh Phogat created history by winning the gold medal in Asian Games, became the first Indian woman wrestler to win Gold. Many congratulations 🥇🇮🇳🙏😇 #proudsister”

There is no denying the fact that Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood developed an emotional bond with the Phogat family ever since Dangal’s shooting started and reports suggest that he even purchased a lot of a dry fruits, clothes and saris for the whole family of Geeta in her marriage. In fact, he met each and every wedding guest individually and greeted them. Taking all this into consideration, it won’t be wrong to say that Vinesh’s Gold victory is no less than a proud moment for Aamir too.
Congratulations Vinesh Phogat! RVCJ wishes her success for all her future endeavours!
