Nine months after wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Sangita Phogat wed, they had much to celebrate when Bajrang returned from the Tokyo Olympics with a Bronze medal.

'Finally sharing it with my better half. It's her moral support and love that gives me that 'extra' boost to excel,' Bajrang tweeted with a picture of missus and medal.

Sangita belongs to the Phogat family of grapplers, whose lives the Bollywood blockbuster Dangal commemorated.

Her cousin Vinesh Phogat competed in the Tokyo Games, but was knocked out early in the competition.

During their wedding ceremony last November, Bajrang and Sangeeta took an extra phera -- instead of the customary seven -- rounds around the sacred fire to support the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign.
