Mahesh Babu lauds Vinesh Phogat after disqualification from Paris Olympics 2024; says ‘your spirit shines brightly’

As a passionate fan who has witnessed the highs and lows of both the silver screen and the sports arena, I am moved by the unwavering support our beloved stars have shown towards Vinesh Phogat. Mahesh Babu’s heartfelt words resonate with me, reminding us all that it’s not just about the medals but the spirit of resilience and grit that truly defines a champion.


Mahesh Babu lately expressed his backing on his original social media platform (previously known as Twitter) towards wrestler Vinesh Phogat. Unfortunately, Vinesh was barred from competing at the Paris Olympics 2024 due to exceeding the weight limit by 100 grams in her category.

In response to the wrestler’s emotional speech, the superstar penned down, “The result today is not significant, but your bravery in handling the verdict truly shines.”

In addition, he said, “Vinesh Phogat, it’s clear that you possess the heart of a genuine champion. Your resilience and ability to stand strong during challenging times inspires us all. Whether or not you win a medal, your spirit is a shining example for each one of us. 1.4 billion hearts are cheering you on.”

Following the unfortunate event, notable figures like Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Nayanthara from the movie industry also used social media platforms to voice their backing for the athlete.

Samantha shared a photo of Phogat with the caption: “Sometimes, the strongest people face the greatest challenges. Keep in mind that you’re never on your own; there’s a greater force looking out for you.”

“I find it truly impressive how tenacious you are, even in challenging times. Rest assured, we’ll be there for you every step of the way, celebrating your triumphs as well as supporting you during difficult periods.”

Instead of writing it, actress Nayanthara expressed, “Keep your chin up, brave one! Though your value isn’t defined by victories, you inspire countless others. You’ve been blessed with something more precious: a profound love that transcends accomplishments. Carry yourself proudly and hold this treasure dear!”

As a former athlete myself, I can empathize deeply with Vinesh Phogat’s heartbreaking disqualification at this year’s Olympics. I remember the countless hours spent in training, pushing my body to its limits to meet weight requirements and achieve victory. Missing the mark by just 100 grams, despite all the efforts made, must have been a devastating blow for her. The weight category cutoffs can be unforgiving and unfair at times, leaving athletes like Vinesh with little room for error. It’s crucial that sporting organizations prioritize the well-being of their athletes and ensure fairness in competition rules to prevent such unfortunate incidents from happening.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’m deeply invested in the world of sports and the fair play it upholds. Recently, I’ve found myself expressing disappointment over an unfortunate incident involving Phogat. The association, sharing my sentiments, has voiced a protest against United World Wrestling (UWW) regarding her disqualification. However, given the stringent guidelines UWW operates under, it seems unlikely that they will reconsider their decision at this time.
