After historic gold, Vinesh Phogat gets engaged at airport on return
New Delhi : Wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who won gold at the Asian Games in Jakarta, got engaged to wrestler Somvir Rathee on her return to India. The two reportedly exchanged rings near the arrival gate of the Delhi airport on Monday night.
Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in wrestling at the Asian Games. Rathee, like Phogat, is also a Greco Roman wrestler. A few days ago, she posted on Instagram a photo of them together in which she said it was the “best decision” she had ever made.
After her victory at the Asian Games, Rathee had posted a picture in which he congratulated Phogat on her victory. “I know how much hard work has come before this victory. Whatever she is today is because of her hardwork and the entire nation’s faith and love for her, without which this would not have been possible. Please keep giving your love and faith always. Every Indian is proud of you always and I pray you will continue to make the nation proud in the future as well,” he said.
Phogat has also shared pictures of her 24th birthday celebration at Delhi airport on Instagram. In an accompanying caption she thanked everyone for their wishes on her birthday and said that it would remain a memorable one. She later confirmed to a newspaper that she was engaged to Rathee and that the rings were exchanged outside the airport.

Donald Trump sends Diwali greetings, condemns attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh
Washington, Oct 31: Sending Diwali greetings, former president Donald Trump, who is the Republican presidential candidate, on Thursday condemned the attack on Hindus in Bangladesh, vowed to strengthen ties with India and described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as his good friend.
Bangladesh, he said, remains in a total state of chaos and alleged that his Democratic rival Vice President Kamala Harris and her boss President Joe Biden have ignored Hindus across the world and in America.
“I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
This is for the first time that Trump has spoken on the issue of Bangladesh. Hundreds of Hindus were killed in July-August in Bangladesh when a students’ agitation turned into massive protests leading to then prime minister Sheikh Hasina to flee the country on August 5.
“It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border, but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back Peace through Strength,” he said.
“We will also protect Hindu Americans against the anti-religion agenda of the radical left. We will fight for your freedom. Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good friend, Prime Minister Modi,” Trump said.
“Kamala Harris will destroy your small businesses with more regulations and higher taxes. By contrast, I cut taxes, cut regulations, unleashed American energy, and built the greatest economy in history. We will do it again, bigger and better than ever before and we will Make America Great Again,” he said.
“Also, Happy Diwali to All. I hope the Festival of Lights leads to the Victory of Good over Evil,” said the former president, who is in a close fight with Harris for the November 5 presidential elections.
