Commonwealth Games 2018: "You make us proud Indians" -Big B, Anil laud women athletes

Mumbai: Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor are ecstatic over the performance of India's women athletes at the 21st Commonwealth Games in Australia. "The greatness of sport and the pride we have in our women athletes that are doing wonders Down Under! Weightlifting, shooting, table tennis, squash... Incredible... You make us proud Indians," Big B tweeted. A UN ambassador for the girl child mission, and as someone who has promoted the 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' campaign, Amitabh has always stressed on the strength in woman power. Anil hailed the athletes for making every Indian proud. Indian women athletes have won four gold medals so far at this year's Commonwealth Games. Of these, three have come in weightlifting. Mirabai Chanu kicked off India's medal hunt by winning the women's 48 kg title on the opening day.
