For those who don't know, Aamir Khan's hit film, Dangal was inspired by the Phogat sisters. And the characters played by Fatima Sana Sheikh and Sanya Malhotra were inspired by the wrestler sisters, Geeta and Babita's life. In an interview with the Scoopwhoop, Geeta had talked about the movie and how it reminded her of her childhood. She had said, "Yes, it is true that we got to relive our childhood. Not many people get that chance. But will I go back to those times? No way! (laughs) It was the hardest times of our lives. Lagta hai bachpan chheen gaya humaara. (Feels like our childhood was stolen from us) But we are seeing the results now. We have won medals, we have achieved quite a lot and we are happy now. Not once, but a thousand times I felt I should run away from all this. (laughs) Woh "Haanikarak baapu" song jo hai, woh sahi banaaya hai. (Haanikarak baapu song is perfectly made!)."
In an interview with the Asian Age, Geeta had shared that people had warned her father that he will not be able to marry their daughters if they continued playing the same. She was quoted as saying, "I have seen my father defying societal norms and investing his time and energy on us. He was ridiculed and criticised by the community for asking girls to seek a career in wrestling. But he had vision and was least worried when elders warned him his daughters would not find grooms. I had to wrestle for him and that motivated me tremendously. I had to win for him."(Don't Miss: Soha Ali Khan, Kunal Kemmu And Inaaya Naumi Kemmu Leave For Their Christmas And New Year Vacation)
