Vinesh Phogat may not have won a medal in the Paris Olympics, but this player has received tremendous love in India. Vinesh was awarded the gold medal in her village and also received a lot of money as a reward. However, it is being claimed on social media that Vinesh Phogat has received 16 crores as a reward so far. The question is whether this claim is true? Has Vinesh really received such a huge amount? Vinesh's husband Somveer Rathi has revealed this.

Vinesh's husband told the truth

The question of whether Vinesh has received Rs 16 crore or not has been answered by her husband Somveer Rathi. Somveer Rathi tweeted that his wife has not received the amount of Rs 16 crore. Many people and organizations have done such things for cheap popularity. It has not been disclosed how much reward Vinesh Phogat has received so far. However, the Haryana government had definitely announced that Vinesh will get the same amount as the amount given to the silver medalist in the Olympics.

Vinesh Phogat has not received any money from the following organizations, businessmen, companies and parties. All of you are our well-wishers, please do not spread false news. This will not only harm us but will also harm social values.

This is just a means to gain cheap popularity. pic.twitter.com/ziUaA8ct1W

Vinesh got honor

Vinesh Phogat did not win a medal in the Olympics but she was given a grand welcome on her return to India. This player was honored in Vinesh's village Balali. According to reports, she was also given money and land to open an academy. However, her husband completely denied the claim of getting Rs 16 crore. By the way, if this was true, it would mean that she would have got 3 to 4 times more money than Manu Bhaker and Neeraj Chopra. Let us tell you that the Haryana government has given Rs 5 crore to Manu Bhaker for winning two bronze medals in the Olympics. Neeraj Chopra got 4 crores for winning the silver medal.
