Kajol also praised and congratulated Nitu by posting her victory picture. Sharing the pictures, "Bravo Gnitughanghas! Your victory in the finals of the #WomensBoxingChampionship 48 Kg category is a testament to your skill and determination. You are a true role model and we are thrilled to celebrate your success." Nitu Ghanghas became sixth Indian female boxer to be crowned the World Champion. She also bagged a gold medal in Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham.

With this victory, the 22-year-old pugilist from Bhiwani capped off a stellar campaign where she proved her mettle by ousting notable pugilists including the two-time Worlds bronze medallist Madoka Wada of Japan and the two-time Asian champion Alua Balkibekova of Kazakhstan. Maintaining her red hot form, Nitu (48kg) made lightwork of the two-time Asian bronze medallist Lutsaikhan Altantsetseg of Kazakhstan to secure a remarkable 5-0 win by unanimous decision. Not only Nitu, three-time Asian medallist Saweety (81kg) had to grind hard to secure a 4-3 win on points after the bout was reviewed against Wang Lina of China to clinch her second Worlds medal. Bholaa: Did Ajay Devgn Just Tease Abhishek Bachchan’s Cameo in This New Teaser?
