Career :

Geeta’s father used to take her to train on the muddy arena and local wrestling matches. During her teenage, she became the subject of criticism and mockery of the people of her village because the two girls didn’t abide by the customs of society. As there were no female wrestlers, her father would make them wrestle with the boys. Her father left his job to concentrate on her training for the Commonwealth Games. She made her international wrestling debut in the Commonwealth Wrestling Championship held in Jalandhar, Punjab in 2009 and won a gold medal.

 

Geeta Phogat won India’s first-ever gold medal in the women’s wrestling in Commonwealth Games held in New Delhi in 2010. After that, she went on to win various wrestling championships including Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, and several national and international tournaments. She is also the first Indian women wrestler to have been qualified for the Olympics. In October 2016, she was appointed as the Deputy Superintendent of Police in Haryana.

Love Story :

The love story of Geeta Phogat and Pawan Kumar grew through Facebook conversations. Geeta and Pawan attended a camp for the 2012 Olympics. Pawan messaged her on facebook. After a few months, they met in the US. After some time, she blocked him from Facebook. At that time, she thought that he was not serious. It was after they coincidentally underwent knee operation and ran into each other in the same hospital. That’s where they had a long talk. She began to take him seriously, and they both finally agreed to marry.

 

Biopic :

Geeta Phogat met Aamir Khan for the first time in 2014 on his Show, Satyamev Jayate, where he interviewed the Phogat sisters. The movie Dangal is a biopic on the life of Geeta and her family. Aamir Khan played the role of her father, Mahavir Singh Phogat and Fatima Sana Shaikh portrayed her character in the film.
