Aamir Khan spoke to Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat on a video call recently.

Dangal saw Aamir as Mahavir Singh Phogat, an amateur wrestler who trains his daughters Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari to become India's first world-class female wrestlers. Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra portray the adult versions of the two Phogat sisters, while Zaira Wasim and the late Suhani Bhatnagar were seen as their younger versions.

Vinesh at Olympics 2024

Vinesh was in news after she reached the final of the women's 50kg event at the recent Paris Olympics, but returned to India empty-handed. Things went downhill after she was disqualified before the final after breaching the 50kg weight limit.

A day after her heartbreaking disqualification, Vinesh announced her decision to retire from wrestling. She also made a plea to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to award her a joint silver medal. The CAS deferred the verdict a couple of times and eventually dismissed the application filed by Vinesh for a silver medal in the women's 50kg event at the Paris Olympics.
