Sangeeta’s father says that both families had already been engaged to consent. The two families have decided to hold the wedding ceremony in a simplified manner. He told that only 20 men will come to the Barat. Advisory issued by the Health Department due to Corona will also be taken care of.
Both Sangeeta and Bajrang are professional wrestlers. Bajrang Poonia has won many medals internationally.
