'Dangal' Actresses From Jammu And Kashmir Inspire Youth To Take Up Wrestling
At a wrestling camp in Jammu, 37-year-old Ritika Salathia, the first woman to represent the state in wrestling, has been working overtime since the release of Aamir Khan's 'Dangal'. Ms Salathia said that after the movie's release there has been a new found interest in the sport among the youth, especially girls, who want to become wrestlers. 'Dangal' chronicles the life of wrestler Mahavir Phogat - played by Aamir Khan - and his daughter Geeta Phogat's quest for the Commonwealth Gold medal in 2010.
