After Phogat made history by becoming the first Indian woman to reach the Olympic final in wrestling, Kangana shared a picture of her on Instagram, accompanied by a veiled critique. She recalled Phogat’s participation in protests against the former President of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), Brij Bhushan Sharan, and noted, "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." ALSO READ: SHOCKING!

On Wednesday, the nation was left heartbroken after Phogat was disqualified from the Olympics just moments before her final match. She was found to be overweight by a mere 100 grams, which prevented her from competing in the final bout and dashed India's hopes for another Olympic medal.
Several Bollywood celebrities expressed their solidarity with Phogat, praising her for her hard work and perseverance. Stars such as Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Dia Mirza, and others lauded Phogat for her dedication and grit, calling her a true champion despite the setback.
