New Delhi:Alia Bhatt has dropped a moving note for India’s top wrestler Vinesh Phogat. She made history by becoming the first Indian woman to reach the final at the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, Vinesh was disqualified on Wednesday morning for being 100 grams overweight. Although the margin was minimal, the rules do not permit any exceptions. The Indian Olympic Association has already filed an appeal regarding the situation. Calling Vinesh an “inspiration”, Alia said, “Vinesh Phogat, you are an inspiration to the entire nation. Nothing can take away your resilience, nothing can take away your courage & nothing can take away the hardships you’ve been through to create history. Today you must be heartbroken, to say the least and we are heartbroken with you. But woman you are gold – you are iron and you are steel!!!!!!! And, Nothing can take that away from you!
