Why 'I love Sangram Singh' is Trending on Twitter

Why now? Olympian wrestler Sangram Singh was in the news when he participated in the reality show Bigg Boss.

He was also in the news when it became known that he was dating actress Payal Rohatgi. And when he signed a 'Death Contract' with the Commonwealth Heavyweight Championship.

But all that was last year.

But when he began trending on Twitter today, many of the tweets around the hashtag #ILoveSangramSingh were about why he was being talked about.

This is where it began.

Others asked what the brouhaha was all about.

Clearly, it seems to be a like joint effort by Sangram Singh's fans and friends:

Turns out the match that Sangram signed the death contract for was held in February this year.

He was the first Indian to sign the death contract, which essentially means no one can be held responsible in case of any casualties cause to the wrestlers during the match.

Singh had said that he will use the money that he makes from the match to help other wrestlers who can't afford proper training.
