A true Inspiration! Folded hands @Rajeev_GoI @ActorMadhavan”

Mirabai had shared a few pictures of herself having a good time at her family home in Manipur.

The Breathe actor had earlier taken to Twitter to congratulate Chanu for her Olympics glory. Anushka Sharma had also shared a picture of Chanu’s golden earrings that she wore to the match. The earrings were a gift from her mother and were shaped like the Olympic rings.

Mirabai Chanu won the silver medal in weightlifting at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics. Since her big win, many Bollywood actors have taken to their social media platforms to congratulate her.

Farhan Akhtar, who is himself an ardent sports enthusiast, was one of the first few Bollywood celebrities to congratulate Chanu.

Breathe 2 actor Abhishek Bachchan too had wished Mirabai for her win.

While many celebrities have congratulated Mirabai on their social media handles, R Madhavan is one of the first actors to throw light on the Olympics winner’s humble life and background.
