Supportive Gesture: Dharmendra Stands by Vinesh Phogat Amid Weight Controversy

Following the backlash received by actor-politician Hema Malini’s remarks regarding Vinesh Phogat’s weight, husband Dharmendra expressed strong support for the wrestler on Thursday. Phogat, who faced disqualification from the 2024 Paris Olympics for exceeding the 50 kg limit by 100 gm, received a heartfelt message from Dharmendra on Instagram. Dharmendra conveyed his prayers for Phogat’s well-being and joy as she marked the end of her international wrestling journey that same day. “Beloved Vinesh, we are deeply saddened by the news. You are a courageous and spirited daughter of our land. We cherish you and continuously wish for your wellness and happiness. Stay joyful, healthy, and resilient for your family and all those who care for you,” he expressed.
