Kangana, known for her vocal stance on various issues, congratulated Phogat in a manner that provoked controversy. While many found this an act of encouragement, others slammed her for bringing in politics in this.

In the past, Vinesh Phogat protested against the president of the wrestling Federation of India, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, after she allegedly accused him of sexual harassment.

According to the rules, wrestlers are required to weigh in twice, once on the morning of the preliminary rounds and again on the morning of the finals. Phogat successfully met the desired weight limit of 50 kg during the first checkup on Tuesday morning.

However, after coming up about three bouts and replenishing herself throughout the day, there seemed to be an increase in her weight. It is reported that she had to lose 2 kg overnight to meet the requirement for the final weigh-in.

Despite putting in all her efforts by constant skipping and sweating, she was found to be 100 grams overweight, leading to disqualification.
