Sonepat, November 24

Star wrestler Bajrang Punia got engaged to grappler Sangita Phogat in a simple ceremony at his house here on Sunday.

Sangita is the youngest o the Phogat sisters, on whom Bollywood film “Dangal” starring Aamir Khan was made.

Sangita’s father and Dronacharya awardee Mahavir Singh Phogat and other members of the family performed the ceremony.

Later, he told the media that the wedding would be solemnised after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in a simple ceremony without any dowry. “I am happy that my youngest daughter will also marry a wrestler,” he said.

Mahavir Singh’s other daughter Geeta Phogat has married wrestler Pawan Saroha.

Bajrang also confirmed that he would marry after the Tokyo Olympics. “First, I will fulfil my father’s dream of winning a medal in the Olympics and then get married,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
