Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat tied the knot with Somvir Rathi in Haryana’s Balali village on Thursday, 14 December. The Commonwealth Games gold medallist had got engaged to the former Greco-Roman national wrestler soon after winning a gold at the Asian Games earlier this year.

Vinesh’s sister and Asian Championships bronze medallist Ritu shared a picture ahead of the ceremony.

Vinesh recently capped a highly successful season by grabbing the gold in the 57kg category at the Senior National Championship. In her first major season after returning from her injury at the Rio Olympics, the 24-year-old wrestler stamped her class at the international level by winning the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games titles.
