Ninja strategy to save Modiji from calling her 😏

Absolutely that's what I felt.

Modi Ji spoke with her, and the other wrestlers, when they were desperate to talk to him earlier as well. The real question is, with "Modi Teri kabr khudegi" chants on what basis did she expect the PM to respond to her?

She was 100 grams overweight... 100 grams

300 gm I lose when I pee. 100 gms is bullshit considering the fact the matching is tonight at 11pm. She could have easily lost that much weight before the match.

Weird idea, could she have trimmed her hair and saved on those 100gms??

They should have a range for weighing like +/- 200g should be allowed. Like that much shouldn't matter.

Yes, there is a range but she weighed above the permissible range

What can be allowed is some more time for second weigh-in. Indian coach asked for just 2 hours to reduce down 100gms but ioc didn’t allow that

It's actually Modi's plan to save from the embarrassment he will have when he has to meet her after she wins medals.
