On August 6, Vinesh Phogat created history at the Paris Olympics 2024 in the women's wrestling 50 kg category. Phogat won against Cuba's Yusneylis Gozman Lopez, thus becoming the first Indian to reach the finals. The social media is filled with various reactions to Vinesh's win.

Brij Bhushan was accused of sexual harassment, and Vinesh protested with other wrestlers for weeks for justice. Now, actress Kangana Ranaut has shared her views on Phogat's win.
