Shillong, August 8: Actress Taapsee Pannu expressed deep sorrow over the unexpected disqualification of Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat from the Paris Olympics. Pannu, eagerly anticipating her film 'Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba', shared her sentiments, stating, "In these games, there is no third umpire or a third judgment person.
I'm heartbroken at what has happened, just like everyone else in the country right now." Known for her passion for sports, Pannu reflected on the unpredictable nature of sports, acknowledging that victories and setbacks are part of an athlete's journey.
The disqualification occurred after Phogat exceeded the weight limit marginally, a setback in what had been a historic run as she became the first Indian woman wrestler to reach an Olympic final.
