Recalling her conversations with the athletes, she said: “I remember talking to him last year, when he had just started working on his fitness after childbirth. I can’t help but admire the thought of this tough girl – that although she is regaining her fitness and preparing herself for wrestling, she was very conscious of her child’s nutrition and did not want to compromise. This is the identity of a mother. And I am very happy because I was able to arrange his proper diet. This will help him to reach his goal and also to provide proper nutrition to his child.

Dr. Rhea added, “Despite being busy with a child, she made sure she kept her eating habits. Besides, he used to spend 4 hours or more a day for his training, because this time he has to be ready. To me she is undoubtedly a strong girl. I am happy and proud that my food therapy will help him. ‘

In an interview in March 2021, Geeta Fogat, the first Indian woman to win gold at the Commonwealth Games, said of her weight loss: ‘I started training six months ago. I used to work out at home. I lose 20-25 kg weight after delivery. But I needed training on the mat. I even needed a training partner, so I joined the National Camp. I contacted the Wrestling Federation of India as my own assessment was urgent and they gave me permission. I thank the Federation for this. I’m getting ready for my comeback. ‘
