The trailer of Dangal has hit now with bang and
Phogat sisters Babita and Geeta are all admirations for the man behind this
saga - Aamir Khan and Mahavir Phogat! While the girls are thankful to Aamir for
showcasing their journey and struggles on the big screen, Babita & Geeta
credit their success to their father, Mahavir.
“I’m very happy that Aamir Khan and the girls have portrayed
our story so well onscreen. It seems like I’m watching myself,” told Geeta,
adding that Aamir always made time for the family. “Woh jitney badey star hai,
utne hi bade insaan bhi hai. Papa se milne ke liye shootingchhod dete the.
(Despite being a star, he’s very humble. He used to stop the shooting to meet
our father),” posted Geeta - a wrestler.
“We’re excited. If people see a film about wrestling,
they’ll want to know about the sport,” told Babita, who’s all admiration for
Aamir. “He’s so down to earth. We’ve met three-four times since he invited us
on his TV show and it’s always wonderful,” she further added. As for their depiction
in the movie, the Commonwealth Games gold-medalist told, “When we were narrated
the story by (director) Nitesh Tiwari, we loved the fact that there was nothing
fake in it. It was all about what really happened in our lives.”
Open up about their father, Mahavir Phogat, Geeta shared how
the sisters always wanted to keep long hair, but their father never allowed to
do so. "Humne kabhi masti toh ki nahi. We had short hair and people
would get confused if we were a boy or a girl. He used to say, yah toh
shauk pura kar lo, yah kushti kar lo. Papa has been very strict with us.
He taught us that to achieve something in life you have to compromise on
something.”
The inspirational story of Phogat sisters will be essayed on
the big screen by actresses Fatima Sheikh and Sanya Malhotra. Dangal will
release on December 23, 2016.
