The much awaited Aamir Khan-starrer ‘Dangal’ released on Friday. The film is based on the life of wrestler and coach Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters.

The movie mostly revolves around how his eldest two daughters – Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari – make their mark in the international level against all odds.

The Quint was at Geeta Phogat’s wedding, which was held in November. If you have seen Geeta in reel life, take a look at her other side.
