National weightlifter Saikhom Mirabai Chanu did India proud as she won a medal on the first day of the 2020 Summer Olympics on Saturday. The 26-year old bagged the silver medal in the women’s 49-kg category, opening India’s medal account in the mega-sports fest in Tokyo, which was deferred by a year due to the novel coronavirus outbreak globally last year.
Salman Khan, an ardent sports lover, congratulated Chanu on Twitter, saying, “Congratulations @mirabai_chanu on becoming a nation’s superstar today! You made us proud & how!! Aap too asli dabangg nikli! #Tokyo #TeamIndia”
While several celebrities have celebrated Chanu’s medal win on various social media platforms, what makes the Radhe star’s post special is that he is her favorite actor. When asked about her favorite actor during one of her earlier interviews, Chanu has named Salman and been quoted as saying, “Salman Khan mujhe bahut hi pasand hai. Unki body structure, sab pasand hai.”
