New Delhi: Vinesh Phogat reached the wrestling finals on her own, but she was eliminated from the competition due to being 100 grams overweight. Many people started smelling a ‘conspiracy’ in this. She may not have won the gold or silver medal, but TV actor Nakul Mehta believes that she does not even need it to show her strength. She has won even after losing. He is proud of Vinesh Phogat’s ability, although he was heartbroken after the wrestler announced her retirement. Nakul Mehta has posted a video describing the wrestler’s struggle in the last few months, in which he is talking about Vinesh through poetry. The video has gone viral.
Nakul Mehta wrote in the caption of the post, ‘Fighter. Olympian. Champion. A poem dedicated to one of our greatest of all time. The one and only Vinesh Phogat.’ Nakul Mehta’s poem dedicated to the wrestler begins like this-
Vinesh if I hadn’t seen you fight
From the grounds of Jantar Mantar to
to the arenas of paris
maybe never know
These are gold and silver medals
how many are redundant
Where is that shine in them?
which is in your spirit, in your strength
Well what can we say about your wrestling
I saw its burning sensation in Suzaki’s eyes that day
Ask that Japanese girl lying on the floor, she will tell you
Lionesses don’t weigh, they weigh the flesh…
