s Vinesh Phogat garners national attention for her historic feat as the first Indian female wrestler to reach an Olympic final, the film industry has swiftly celebrated her success. However, actress and politician Kangana Ranaut has seized the moment to make a political statement. Kangana remarked that Vinesh was given a chance to compete in the Olympics despite protesting against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
This statement has sparked strong protests on social media. Kangana's post appeared after Vinesh Phogat qualified for the finals yesterday. Kangana wrote, “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 kabar khudegi.
’ Yet she was given the opportunity to represent the nation and access the best training, coaches, and facilities. This is the beauty of democracy and a testament to great leadership.” Unfortunately, Vinesh Phogat was disqualified by the Olympic Association for being overweight in the final, forcing her to return from the Olympic ring without winning any medals.
Vinesh had defeated the world champion in wrestling in the semi-final to reach the final, but her disqualification at the last minute dashed the hopes of the Indian people. In this context, Kangana's words have become controversial. Many people have criticised her for the statement.
