Vinesh Phogat’s historic victory in the women’s wrestling 50kg category at the Paris 2024 Olympics has garnered widespread acclaim and attention, including a notable reaction from actress-politician Kangana Ranaut. Phogat’s dominant 5-0 win over Cuba’s Yusneylis Guzman Lopez secured her spot in the final, making her the first Indian woman to reach an Olympic wrestling final.
Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram to react to Phogat’s achievement, writing, “Fingers crossed for India’s first Gold Medal… Vinesh Phogat at one point took part in protests where she raised the slogans of ‘Modi teri Kabr khudegi.’ Yet she was given the opportunity to represent the nation and receive the best training, coaches, and facilities. This is the beauty of democracy and the mark of a great leader.”
