    As Vinesh Phogat became the first Indian woman wrestler to win an Asian Games gold, Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar lauded her for proving the strength of India's women.
     
     
    Aamir, whose "Dangal" about Vinesh's star cousins Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari went on to be a blockbuster, tweeted: "Congratulations Vinesh for winning the Gold in the Asian Games. We are all so proud of you. Love, Aamir and the team of Dangal. Mhaari chhoriyan chhoron se kam hai ke!"
     
     
    Vinesh defeated Japan's Yuki Irie in the 50 kilogram women's Freestyle final in Jakarta on Monday.
     
     
    Amitabh, a supporter of the women empowerment movement, wrote "Jai Hind!" and a message in Hindi. He said everyone is proud of India's women and Vinesh's victory has elevated that pride.
