Tiger's shoutout to Mirabai Chanu came a day after she bagged a silver medal in the women’s 49 kg category of the international competition.

It is India’s second Olympic medal in the sport after Karnam Malleswari’s bronze that came 21 years ago at the Sydney Games. Mirabai had participated in the Rio Olympics five years ago but could not win then.

Mirabai received love from numerous Bollywood celebs, including Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Suniel Shetty, Aditi Rao Hydari, Anil Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh, and Abhishek Bachchan. Anushka Sharma was also all hearts when she read the news about Mirabai's special Olympics rings-style earrings.
