Vinesh Phogat wins from Julana: Know all about Indian wrestler’s net worth, lavish Rs 20000000 home, luxury cars and more

Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat suffered a heartbreak on the Paris Olympics 2024 when a mere 100gms of extra weight cost her a sure-shot Olympics medal. Then again the 30-year-old bounced back with a win on her debut in politics – defeating BJP candidate Yogesh Kumar to clinch the Julana constituency seat in the Haryana Assembly Elections 2024.

Vinesh hails from the famous ‘Phogat’ family of Haryana, who've been immortalised on the silver screen with Aamir Khan’s superhit Bollywood movie ‘Dangal’. Born in Charkhi Dadri on August 25, 1994, Vinesh’s father – Rajpal Phogat – to boot as her cousins Geeta Phogat and Babita Phogat are all established wrestlers.

The Congress candidate made her political debut after the heartbreak of the Paris Olympics. Vinesh had stormed into the 50kg women’s freestyle final but used to be found 100gms overweight on the 2nd day of weigh-in and thanks to this fact disqualified from the event. She would have brought home in any case a silver medal if she used to be allowed to compete in final.

देश की बेटी विनेश फोगाट को जीत की बहुत बहुत बधाई।

यह लड़ाई सिर्फ़ एक जुलाना सीट की नहीं थी, सिर्फ़ three-four और प्रत्याशियों के साथ नहीं थी, सिर्फ़ पार्टियों की लड़ाई नहीं थी।

यह लड़ाई देश की सबसे मज़बूत दमनकारी शक्तियों के ख़िलाफ़ थी। और विनेश इसमें विजेता रही।#VineshPhogat… percenttwitter.com/dGR5m2K2ao
