"What a dream come true for India! Thank you for making us proud," the 'BellBottom' actor wrote on the micro-blogging site. 

“Congratulations, India! Yet again, an Indian Woman brings us international sporting acclaim! #MirabaiChanu wins an #OlympicSilver! Jai Hind!!!," Vishal Dadlani's tweet read. 

Randeep Hooda tweeted, "Congratulations #MirabaiChanu for opening our account in the #OlympicGames with your #silver thank you for all your hard work and that competitive spirit."

Chanu who hails from Manipur, is the recipient of Padma Shri and Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna. Movie buffs have already requested Bollywood filmmakers to make a film based on her inspiring life.  We hope the producers are listening as Bollywood has successfully made biopics like 'Mary Kom', 'Bhaag Milka Bhaag' and 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story' in the past.
