"Meet our little SONshine.” “Believe in dreams; they do come true. Ours came dressed in blue!," Babita wrote. Babita Phogat and Vivek Suhag had tied the knot in November 2019. Apart from their wrestling endeavours, they had also participated in the reality show Nach Baliye together.

Her caption was a gratitude post towards her husband sharing that she felt ‘lucky’ over every ‘single moment' that she spent being his wife and the ‘amazing life’ they lived together. She also wrote, ‘You are my happy place. You complete me’ Babita shared her excitement and that she was waiting to start this ‘new chapter’ in her life.

Babita Phogat has won multiple medals for the country, most notably gold and silver medals in the Commonwealth Games of the last three editions. Her sister Geeta Phogat too had similar honours for the country, parts of which were depicted in the blockbuster Dangal, which was loosely based on their lives.  

Babita Phogat joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2019. Recently, she resigned from her position as deputy director in Haryana's Sports and Youth Affairs Department to focus fully on politicians.
