Panaji : Actor politician Sonali Phogat passes away aged 41, from what is considered to have been a cardiac arrest. She complained of chest pains and uneasiness while at a hotel in Goa, where she had arrived with her staff.
Sonali who shot to fame via her videos on Tik Tok, had contested Haryana elections from Adampur in 2019 but lost to Congress candidate Kuldeep Bishnoi. Bishnoi recently joined BJP and resigned his post as MLA. According to reports, Sonali had met with Bishnoi two weeks ago and hoped to contest from Adampur once again.
The Haryana Chief Minister expressed condolences and said there is no foul play involved. There were no external marks of injury on her body and it appears to have been a case of heart attack, said police.
Sonali was daughter of Yashodara Phogat. Her husband, Sanjay Phogat, had died at their farmhouse in 2016.
