Aamir Khan’s latest offering Dangal is what everyone is talking about these days. Rarely would one come across someone who doesn’t approve of the movie. But, there is one person who is upset with the way he was portrayed in it.
Amid all the claps the have come the Dangal way, PR Sondhi, the real-life coach of wrestlers Geeta and Babita Phogat has taken an offense. According to a report in DNA, Mr Sondhi is miffed with the makers for showing him in a bad light.
Expressing his disappointment, Mr Sondhi said that he was aware of the fictional elements being added to the movie but hoped it wouldn’t have been at his expense.
They have named the character PR Kadam, but somewhere it is loosely based on my life. I have known Mahavirji Phogat for many years and his two daughters trained under me for more than three years and not once did he interfere.
