XtraTime Web Desk: India’s star wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who won gold at the Asian Games in Jakarta, surprised everyone and got engaged to wrestler Somvir Rathee on her return to India. The two reportedly exchanged rings near the arrival gate of the Delhi airport on Monday night.
Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in wrestling at the Asian Games. Rathee, like Phogat, is also a Greco Roman wrestler. A few days ago, she posted on Instagram a photo of them together in which she said it was the “best decision” she had ever made.
After her victory at the Asian Games, Rathee had posted a picture in which he congratulated Phogat on her victory. “I know how much hard work has come before this victory. Whatever she is today is because of her hardwork and the entire nation’s faith and love for her, without which this would not have been possible. Please keep giving your love and faith always. Every Indian is proud of you always and I pray you will continue to make the nation proud in the future as well,” he said.
