Olympics Wrestler Vinesh Phogat Arrives In Mercedes G-Wagen Convoy To A Rapturous Welcome [Video]
Entire India shed tears of pain when it was announced that Vinesh Phogat, the Indian wrestler, after reaching the Olympic Games finals, had been disqualified. It was reported that she weighed just 100 grams more during the weigh-in. Following this, she announced that she would retire from the sport. However, all these setbacks did not mean that she would not be welcomed like a champ in the country. Recently, she returned to India and was welcomed with a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen and a convoy of other luxury SUVs.

This video showing the grand welcome of Vinesh Phogat in India has been shared on YouTube. It comes courtesy of Sanjeet Jaat. In this video, the vlogger first shows the convoy of the Indian wrestler that arrived from the airport after picking her up. Numerous SUVs were seen lined up in traffic, with people standing out of the sunroofs and coming out of the windows.
It can then be seen that Vinesh Phogat and her husband, Somvir Rathee, were sitting on top of a white Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG SUV. They were not standing out of the sunroof; rather, they were sitting on top of the car, with the windshield providing their support.
During this time, they were showered with rose petals and other flowers. They were also seen smiling with their hands folded, and everyone present at the spot was cheering for the professional wrestler. A number of security personnel were also accompanying them and making way for their Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen.
Is this Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen Vinesh Phogat’s?
For those who may be wondering if this white Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is owned by Vinesh Phogat or not, the answer is that most likely it is not owned by her. What we think is that her supporters arranged this SUV for her grand welcome in India.
Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG
As mentioned, the SUV seen in the video is a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. This luxury SUV is currently the hottest commodity among the rich and powerful people of India. It costs Rs 4 crore, and even if someone has the money, they won’t be able to get this SUV. The reason behind this is that the SUV has a long waiting list.
Recently, two of the most popular cricketers have also added G63 AMGs to their collection. These cricketers are none other than the iconic former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and batsman Suryakumar Yadav. Both of them own this SUV, finished in the menacing shade of matte black.
The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG comes powered by a 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 petrol engine. It makes an impressive 585 bhp of power and a peak torque of 850 Nm. Prior to this generation, the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG was powered by a bigger 5.5-litre V8. Apart from Dhoni and Yadav, other celebrities that own a G-Wagen include Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya.
The list of other popular celebrities that own a G-Wagen includes the rapper Badshah, director Rohit Shetty, Punjabi singer Parmish Verma, and Amrita Arora. Also, Anant Ambani’s fleet consists of more than five G-Wagens.
