Commonwealth Games’ gold medallists Geeta Phogat and Babita Phogat are well known for their wrestling skills across the country. Although they were quite popular amongst the people as wrestlers, both Geeta and Babita became a household name post the mega success of Aamir Khan’s Dangal, which was inspired by their life struggle.
Yesterday, Babita Phogat married Indian wrestler Vivek Suhag. Wrestler Babita Kumari earlier shared the pictures from the pre-marriage ceremony through her Instagram account. Even Babita’s sister Geeta Phogat treated the fans with the wedding pictures.

Apart from such an auspicious occasion, what came as a more delight that the star wrestler Babita Phogat took an extra phera apart from usual seven wedding pheras around the holy fire. It is being said that she did it to proclaim the message of women empowerment.
Now, that’s quite a unique way of creating awareness; nevertheless kudos to such beliefs and her bold action.
