It's the small things that will make you successful.
The Great Khali
On flights, I cannot travel economy class, as I am too huge to fit into that space. I always have to travel business class.
I try to stick to a vegetarian diet.
I am a much bigger star than Kane.
Earlier, professional wrestling happened only abroad, but now the youngsters are getting a good platform here in India as well.
I want to tell the youth that we should not do drugs.
India has plenty of talent. If they are imparted with proper training, the country will surely produce scores of wrestlers, better than me. I want more and more Indians to participate in the game.
I watched wrestling for the first time on television while in Punjab, after which I started working seriously to become a good wrestler.
I am overwhelmed by the love showered on me by my fans.
Never lose hope under adverse situations.
My wife asks me daily to leave wrestling, but I will not leave my favourite sport. I will train others.
Dancing along with family members and old friends, especially during a marriage, is a memorable experience.
It would be good if there is a biopic on me. But even if there is no biopic, then also it's fine.
I am only scared of God.
There is no dearth of talent in India, and it is going to be the force to reckon with in world wrestling in future.
The hardest thing about the WWE is the travel.
I was always meant to be Khali.
WWE was far more tougher than working for a film where you could take a shot and go and rest in the trailer, but for WWE, one had to exercise, eat well, fight, and even deal with injuries.
Performing in India is very close to my heart, and it is very humbling to see that so many people have so much love to offer me.
I have struggled hard to attain this fame.
There is lots of enthusiasm among youth of Haryana about sports. They have potential in sports.
The warmth that my country has shown me can't be matched.
Obviously, winning the World Heavyweight Championship was a memorable moment, but nothing tops the feeling of defeating the Undertaker.
I want my students to outshine me.
It's for people to judge if my acting is good or bad.
I don't watch many films.
I've never gone around looking for roles. It has been my good luck that all the films that I have done, the filmmakers have approached me.
The WWE has failed in India.
A good match is about the chemistry between opponents.
I dream of wrestling all the time.
I loved working with Cena. He was always receptive to my ideas, even if they weren't good.
I've performed in basements and at supermarkets. The crowd would be yelling and throwing things at you.
It is a magical feeling to perform for 50,000 people. You decide when they cheer and when they are quiet. It's like you have them under your control.
In the U.S.A., the fans are passionate and are willing to believe in your character.
I was an unknown face before I joined the WWE.
I used to sleep on floors and face racial abuse.
My mind was inclined to work and to support my parents.
Politicians will only exploit you for nothing.
Olympic wrestling is like using an old Nokia phone; it's fairly basic.
Punjab has given me so much.
Years ago, I was a nobody. Now, I am a face recognized almost across the world.
As I am well versed in the art of free-style wrestling, I am keen to pass on this art to the coming generation.
I play to bring honor to India's name abroad, and I feel very proud when I am beating up white wrestlers.
You can't share things about India with Americans, as they don't seem interested. Their culture is different.
You won't get my kind of body if you eat junk food.
The wrestling is real, all the injuries are real, so much so that in no other sports, whether soccer or cricket or hockey, players get so many injuries as in WWE.
Had the WWE fights were artificial and pre-scripted, there would have been no need for wrestlers like The Great Khali and The Undertaker. You cannot fool thousands of people crammed into a stadium and sitting four to five feet away from you in the ring.
One day, I happened to see a WWE match and thought I could easily do all of that.
There is not much awareness about fitness in India, unlike other countries. We don't get too many medals at Olympics; one of the reasons is we don't have that culture of fitness in India. That is why we decided to start this chain of gyms under my name.
I was the first Indian to take on and beat the best in professional wrestling, but I certainly don't want to be the last.
