Aamir Khan recently video called Vinesh Phogat after her return from the Paris 2024 Olympics. The Indian wrestler registered a historic win in the semifinals last month before her disqualification from the finals due to being overweight in the women’s wrestling 50 kg freestyle. Nevertheless, the countrymen cheered the spirit of the athlete wholeheartedly.

Since Vinesh Phogat arrived in India, she has been receiving a warm welcome with utmost pride and love. Meanwhile, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan also video-called Phogat to extend his warm congratulatory wishes for her magnificent journey in the Olympics.

The picture of them video calling each other has taken the internet by storm, in which we can also see former wrestler Kripa Shankar, who was also a mentor for the Dangal actors. As we can see, Vinesh was visibly elated and overwhelmed with the sweet gesture of the Sitaare Zameen Par actor.

Notably, this is not the first time that fans have hoped for a sequel to Dangal. In fact, after Phogat’s big win at the Paris Olympics Semifinals, netzens thronged X to and expressed their wish for Dangal 2 to show the incredible journey of the wrestler.
