Post delivering a child, the mommy not only wants to cherish every single moment spend with her little one and puts everything on a backseat with her kid getting the priority and attention, but she also waits for the right time to come for her to resume her work. Geeta Phogat is no different as she is hoping to get back to her fit self as being an athlete, that’s the most important for her. Posting a then-and-now collage with her May 2019 and May 2020 pictures a few days back, Geeta had written, “I just can't wait to get myself back into shape because I love fitness. I want to be more, fit and stronger #Back2fitness get moving, stay on track and meet your goal” as her caption.
In an interview with the Filmfare, Geeta Phogat had revealed the unknown details of her life that we haven’t seen in the film, Dangal, which is based on her life and struggles. Speaking of her childhood memories of training with her father, Mahavir Singh Phogat, Geeta had said, “It’s not possible to forget those initial 5-6 years of my training. Those were the most difficult years. We had to work really hard be it scorching heat or cold winters. My father used to wake us up at 3:30 in the morning and we had to practise in the akhada for three hours. Post which we went to school and on returning in the evening, we had to train again for 2-3 hours. The akhada and our father were the only two things we saw in our lives at that point.” (Also Read: Sania Mirza's Baby Boy, Izhaan Mirza Malik Teaches His 'Khaala', Anam Mirza 'How To Take Baby Steps')
