Soon after 22-year-old Amit Panghal secured India’s first boxing gold at the ongoing Asian Games by besting Olympic champion Hasanboy Dusmatov of Uzbekistan, a Twitter account, presumably made by the champion, sprang up on the microblogging site.
And the first tweet was directed at Dharmendra. “Gold medal in Jakarta dedicated to country… thanks to everyone for their good congratulatory messages."
"My first tweet is dedicated to my father and my coach’s wish.

Both of them are huge fan of Dharmendra ji. Whenever his film played on TV, they would not let anyone change the channel even during breaks. The happiness (of winning a gold) would double if I got to meet Dharam ji,” the post noted.
The veteran actor responded to the handle, saying, “Proud of you, Amit Panghal. I’d love to meet you too. Let me know whenever you’re in Mumbai. Congratulations to you, your mentor and your family. I pray to God that you conquer every contest and make our country proud.”
