In a poignant moment of reflection, Commonwealth Games triple medalist and Arjuna Award-winning Olympian, Babita Phogat, recently took to social media to express her shock and sorrow at the untimely demise of Suhani Bhatnagar. Suhani, who portrayed the younger version of Babita in the acclaimed 2016 biographical sports drama, ‘Dangal’, passed away, leaving behind a wave of disbelief and sadness among her co-stars and fans alike.
‘Dangal’: A Tale of Triumph and Legacy
‘Dangal’, a cinematic masterpiece, chronicles the inspiring journey of the Phogat sisters, Geeta and Babita, who defied societal norms to emerge as trailblazers in the world of wrestling. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film showcases the unwavering determination of their father, Mahavir Singh Phogat, portrayed by Aamir Khan, in nurturing their talent and sculpting them into world-class athletes.
Babita Phogat’s Emotional Tribute
Upon learning about Suhani’s passing, Babita Phogat, deeply moved by the loss, shared heartfelt condolences on her social media platforms. In her emotional tribute, she expressed disbelief and shock at the news, emphasizing the profound impact of Suhani’s portrayal of her childhood self in ‘Dangal’. Babita’s poignant words not only reflect her grief but also serve as a testament to the bond forged during the filming of the iconic movie.
Geeta Phogat’s Resonating Sentiments
Geeta Phogat, Babita’s elder sister and a pioneering figure in Indian women’s wrestling, also took to social media to express her sorrow over Suhani’s demise. Like Babita, Geeta reminisced about their time on set and extended heartfelt condolences to Suhani’s family and loved ones. The Phogat sisters’ tributes underscore the profound impact of Suhani’s portrayal in ‘Dangal’ and the lasting impression she left on those she worked with.
A Rising Star Taken Too Soon
Suhani Bhatnagar, a talented young actress, shot to fame with her portrayal of young Babita in ‘Dangal’. Despite her tender age, Suhani showcased remarkable talent and captivated audiences with her endearing performance. Following the success of the film, she ventured into the world of ad commercials, garnering further acclaim for her versatility and charm.
A Tragic Turn of Events
Tragically, Suhani’s promising journey was cut short due to a rare autoimmune condition known as dermatomyositis. Characterized by swelling and inflammation, the condition posed a formidable challenge to Suhani’s health and well-being. Despite receiving treatment, her condition deteriorated rapidly, ultimately leading to her untimely demise.
