Geeta Phogat walks the ramp during launch of Pro Wrestling League in New DelhiNew Delhi: Have you ever seen a woman in a wrestling ring or mat just before a day of her wedding. Nation’s first female Olympian wrestler Geeta Phogat is something like that.

Geeta is so serious about Pro Wrestling League that she will continue practicing until the day before the wedding and will return to wrestling ring just after three days of her marriage. She can be seen practicing in wrestling campus at her home under the supervision of her father and Dronacharya awardee Mahabir. Her brother Dushyant is her sparring partner during exercise. Whole family wants to see Geeta once again at top in her weight. You can rarely see such an example.
Few years ago Geeta was at top in her weight. But Sakshi Malik has given her tough competition in many tournaments. Sakshi even won the medal in Rio Olympic leaving Geeta back. Geeta once again wants to secure her position by performing well. During season -1 she was at score of 8-8 against Sakshi but at last Sakshi was declared the winner. Sakshi has taken her game at challenging position, said Geeta. I wish her all the best, I am not thinking for revenge, yet I want to impress everyone. She further said.

Geeta told that her fiancée Pavan is also international wrestler. “We keep discussing about many aspects of wrestling. We want to play in PWL. We don’t want to pressurize any franchise by playing in any one team. We will always wish good luck to each other, whatever the team may be. We have postponed our honeymoon till PWL. I can think on this only after winning the league,” she said.

Geeta is going to marry on November 20. Sangeet, mehandi will start from November 16. Her brother Rahul said that marriage ceremony would take place at a resort located in Charkhi & Dadri district. Bollywood stars Amir Khan, Punjab Royal’s co-owner Dharmpal and Trilok Chowdhry, WFI’ president Brijbhushan Sharan Singh will be present in the ceremony.
