Babita Phogat Breaks Silence on her Viral Tweet that Dragged Aamir Khan ‘Maine Kuch Galat Nahi Likha’

A few days ago, wrestler Babita Phogat sparked a debate online with her tweet. In her tweet, she had mentioned about Coroanvirus spreading in India due to 'illiterate pigs' and used Nizamuddin in the hashtag. She was accused of communising Nizamuddin meet in Delhi and invited heavy trolling her way. 

Babita’s tweet was reported by many and her account was blocked. She had to delete the post in order to regain her account. Despite the heavy trolling, the gold medalist says that she stands by her words and she did not say anything wrong. 

In an interview to HT City, she says, “Koi bhi cheez hoti hai, toh log usko waise lete hai jaise unka dimag chalta hai. Main kya bol rahi hun iski zimmedaar main hun. Aap kya samajh rahe ho, iske zimmedaar aap ho... Maine tweet kiya tha, tweet kuch logo ne report ki hogi jis wajah se account mera band ho gaya tha aur uske baad maine jab reported tweet ko delete kiya tab hi mera account khula.”

“Maine kuch galat nahi likha aur maine kuch galat nahi kiya. Magar jin logo ko galat laga unki khud ki mansikta aisi hai tabhi unko laga hai!”

As soon as her tweet went viral, netizens were quick to drag Aamir Khan’s name in the debate as well. Khan made a film titled Dangal, highlighting the life and struggles of the Phogat sisters. The trolls attacked Babita by saying that no one knew her before Dangal and that Aamir Khan made her famous. 

She reacts to the same by saying: 

 “Movie tabhi toh bani hogi jab humne kuch kar ke dikhaya hoga. Aisa toh nahi hai ki pehle movie bani aur baad main humne karke dikhaya. Pehle humne apne desh ka naam roshan kiya apne desh ke liye medal leke aaye, tabhi inspiration leke kisi ne story likhi hogi. Humare nazar main hamesha hume har jagah pehle tiranga hi dikhayi deta hai.”

To conclude, Babita clarifies her tweet as she mentions that she was talking about the ones who mistreated doctors and nurses, and not about a particular community. “Main yeh kehna chahti thi ki jin logo ne yeh harkate ki hai unko maine jaahil keh ke chota shabd kaha hai. Unko phasi dedo. Agar doctor nurse hatash ho kar apne ghar baith gaye toh humara ilaaj kaun karega? Mera tweet un logo ke liye tha jin logo ne yeh kaam kiya hai, kisi dharm, jaati vishesh ke liye nahi. Mere liye yeh sab baad main aata hai, mere liye mera Hindustan zindabaad tha, zindabaad hai aur zindabaad rahega,” she concludes.
