Tamboli called Phogat "badtameez and ghatiya aurat" and said that she disrespected food, which is highly unacceptable.
#SonaliPhogat is luking so desperate. First, she pin point Rakhi openly to save her. Then started fighting unnecessarily just for content. Atleast fight with dignity and real issue. #Shame
