Bollywood actor Deol penned a heartwarming message for the sportswoman on her victory.

The actor took to his social media handle and wrote, “Rarely does it happen, that you’re in the middle of promoting your new movie, and then life imitates art. Stories of the underdog are always the same on the surface, behind the curtains lie unique individual experiences. It’s welcoming to see diversity in all forms being recognized and celebrated, in sport as well as in film. @zareennikhat’s story is what movies are based upon.”
