India faced disappointment at the Paris Olympics when Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the 50 kg wrestling category for being slightly overweight on the second day of the competition. Several celebs reacted to the news and expressed their views on social media.
However, veteran actress and politician Hema Malini faced criticism for her comments on Vinesh’s disqualification. In response to the news, Hema Malini said that Vinesh's disqualification was surprising and felt odd since it was due to being just 100 grams overweight. She remarked that this incident should serve as a lesson for all women and artists to keep their weight in check. She added that every small amount counts and wished Vinesh had managed to lose those 100 grams quickly, but it wouldn’t have helped her get back into the competition.
TV star Nakuul Mehta also retweeted his tweet and wrote, "disgraceful."
