Actor Simran has met weightlifter Raja Muthupandi, who won a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The meeting took place after the athlete returned from Scotland, where he lifted 126 kg in the snatch and 160 kg in the jerk.

Simran praised Muthupandi for his achievement, saying he has brought pride to India and Tamil Nadu. She encouraged him to continue with the same determination to win more medals in future competitions. Muthupandi, originally from Kovilpatti, was also part of the Indian contingent for the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Weightlifting has long been a medal hope for India at the Commonwealth Games, with the country often topping the standings in the sport. Raja Muthupandi's silver adds to Tamil Nadu's modest but steady contribution to the national weightlifting tally. The next major test for him will be the national championships and the Asian Games qualifiers, where a strong performance could secure a berth for the 2027 Asian Games.
