Babita is the daughter of Mahavir Phogat, a noted wrestling coach. The Phogats became a household name in the country after the success of Hindi film “Dangal“, which depicted the lives of Phogat sisters and their father who coached them against all odds. Babita stepped into politics as she joined the Bhartiya Janta Party in 2019.
