I am only scared of God.

The WWE has failed in India.

I was always meant to be Khali.

I try to stick to a vegetarian diet.

I drink a lot of milk and exercise a lot.

Never lose hope under adverse situations.

I have struggled hard to attain this fame.

Politicians will only exploit you for nothing.

The hardest thing about the WWE is the travel.

I was an unknown face before I joined the WWE.

I used to sleep on floors and face racial abuse.

You won't get my kind of body if you eat junk food.

It's the small things that will make you successful.

A good match is about the chemistry between opponents.

I am overwhelmed by the love showered on me by my fans.

My mind was inclined to work and to support my parents.

The warmth that my country has shown me can't be matched.

Olympic wrestling is like using an old Nokia phone; it's fairly basic.

Even when I was employed with the Punjab Police, I was into body-building.

Years ago, I was a nobody. Now, I am a face recognized almost across the world.

One day, I happened to see a WWE match and thought I could easily do all of that.

Whenever any Indian needs support to succeed in pro wrestling, I will always be there.

I loved working with Cena. He was always receptive to my ideas, even if they weren't good.

Non-resident Indians love me and cough up huge sums of money to watch me fight in the ring.

There is lots of enthusiasm among youth of Haryana about sports. They have potential in sports.

I am from Himachal, but Punjab is my second home, as I have nourished my career from this state only.

Everybody wants to see a film made on them... But it's not like I will die of hunger if it's not made.

I've performed in basements and at supermarkets. The crowd would be yelling and throwing things at you.

My wife asks me daily to leave wrestling, but I will not leave my favourite sport. I will train others.

I play to bring honor to India's name abroad, and I feel very proud when I am beating up white wrestlers.

I always want young Indians to succeed. Our country has a lot of potential, and it needs to be tapped into.

Dancing along with family members and old friends, especially during a marriage, is a memorable experience.

In order to help the talented Indian wrestlers, I am always ready to talk to them and answer their queries.

As I am well versed in the art of free-style wrestling, I am keen to pass on this art to the coming generation.

There is no dearth of talent in India, and it is going to be the force to reckon with in world wrestling in future.

I trained at All Pro Wrestling in the U.S. Later, I signed up with the New Japan Pro Wrestling. Then WWE noticed me.

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.

Haryana is one state that loves combat sports. In fact, majority of the kids who learn wrestling from me are from Haryana.

On flights, I cannot travel economy class, as I am too huge to fit into that space. I always have to travel business class.

Earlier, professional wrestling happened only abroad, but now the youngsters are getting a good platform here in India as well.

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 left India for U.S. with Rs 2,000 only in hand, where I have gone through some very difficult times before entering into wrestling.

Obviously, winning the World Heavyweight Championship was a memorable moment, but nothing tops the feeling of defeating the Undertaker.

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.

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.

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.

After intensive body building for eight years, I went to the U.S. for training. There, I learnt the art of wrestling. Later, I went to Japan and joined a wrestling group.

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.

When I was struggling to get recognition as a wrestler, I faced innumerable hardships. I even slept on the ring itself after finishing my practice. Those days, I did not have a house to live.

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.
