Commonwealth Games gold medallist Babita Phogat got married to a wrestler and long-time companion Vivek Suhag at their ancestral village of Balali in Haryana on Monday. The female wrestler took an extra phera – instead of the traditional seven – to support the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ initiative that opposes female foeticide and promotes education for girls. Babita wore a red lehenga, similar to Priyanka Chopra.
