Geeta and Babita Phogat had previously known Bajrang since they are from the wrestling fraternity. Sangeeta met Bajrang at SAI center where he used to train from where they started talking and enjoying each other’s company. It was is a no brainer that soon they fell in love. With no issues from either Phogat and Punia family, they finally decided to take the next step in their relationship and announced their marriage in August.

For their wedding pheras, Sangeeta and Bajrang followed the footsteps of the previously married Phogat sisters and took 8 pheras. The 8th phera was taken as a vow for ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ campaign. The pre-wedding function and marriage ceremony were held in Haryana and were carried out with full precaution and safety measures followed for COVID-19.
