We send our deepest sympathies to her mother Poojaji and the whole family 🙏🏽. Suhani is such a gifted young woman and a great team player that Dangal wouldn’t have been the same without her.
You will always be a star in our hearts, Suhani ❤️ May peace be with you 🙏🏽.”

In 2016, Suhani Bhatnagar debuted as an actress in the sports drama biography Dangal, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. Based on the Phogat sisters and their father Mahavir Phogat, the movie stars Aamir Khan, Sakshi Tanwar, Sanya Malhotra, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Zaira Wasim, and Aparshakti Khurana. Suhani portrayed Babita Phogat’s younger self in it. Dangal was a huge critical and financial hit when it came out.
The film Dangal tells the narrative of Mahavir Singh Phogat, a former wrestler who, in defiance of societal stigmas, chooses to train his daughters for the Commonwealth Games in order to accomplish his ambition of winning a gold medal for his nation. Though first doubtful, the girls gradually develop an interest in wrestling and win national titles.
