For the unversed, Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the 50 kg women’s wrestling because she was overweight by 100 gms. This news has left the Indians heartbroken and in unfortunate news, it was also reported that the wrestler was immediately hospitalised after she experienced dehydration.
Reacting to Hema Malini’s statement, many internet users questioned the insensitive nature of the politician. Some people also asked Hema Malini to understand the gravity of the situation and not make such pathetic remarks. It’s sad to see the politicians react in such a negative way for a world-class athlete who just lost such a big opportunity at the Olympics. However, we are still proud of Vinesh Phogat.
