Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan recently made headlines after video-calling Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, sparking excitement and speculation among fans.
The call came after Vinesh’s return from the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she made history by reaching the semifinals in the women’s 50 kg freestyle wrestling. However, her Olympic journey ended in disappointment when she was disqualified from the finals for being overweight.
The video call, which featured Vinesh alongside former wrestler Kripa Shankar, who also mentored the actors of Dangal, has since gone viral on social media. Aamir Khan’s fan pages have been buzzing with the image, showing Vinesh visibly touched by the actor’s kind gesture.
The moment captured the hearts of many, as Aamir congratulated Vinesh on her remarkable journey and expressed his admiration for her resilience and dedication.
This interaction has fueled rumors about a potential collaboration between Aamir Khan and Vinesh Phogat for a sequel to the 2016 blockbuster Dangal. The original film, which starred Aamir Khan as Mahavir Singh Phogat, brought the story of the Phogat family and women’s wrestling in India to the forefront, earning widespread acclaim and success.
Fans are now speculating that Dangal 2 could be in the works, possibly drawing inspiration from Vinesh’s real-life experiences and challenges in the wrestling world.
The idea of a sequel has Dangal fans excited, as the film not only spotlighted the struggles and triumphs of women wrestlers in India but also resonated deeply with audiences worldwide.
A potential Dangal 2 could delve into new challenges in the wrestling arena, further exploring the legacy of the Phogat family and Vinesh’s own journey.

In the meantime, Vinesh Phogat has been dealing with the aftermath of her disqualification. She appealed against the decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and United World Wrestling (UWW) in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Unfortunately, her appeal was dismissed after a week-long hearing, leading Vinesh to announce her retirement from international wrestling. She shared an emotional note with her fans on social media, expressing her gratitude and reflecting on her journey.
The viral video call between Aamir Khan and Vinesh Phogat has certainly left fans hopeful for what could be an inspiring continuation of the Dangal legacy.
