WWE Hall of Famer The Great Khali has gone toe to toe with a Bollywood icon but not inside the confines of a wrestling ring.
After stints in New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Japan, and CMLL, The Great Khali signed with WWE in January 2006. After spending a handful of months in the developmental territory, Deep South Wrestling, Khali arrived on SmackDown in April. The giant star attacked The Undertaker on debut leaving him laying. This set up a rivalry between the pair which would run all the way to SummerSlam.
After a switch to ECW, Khali eventually made his way back to SmackDown as part of the 2007 Draft. After Edge was forced to relinquish the World Championship due to injury, Khali won a Battle Royal on the July 20th edition of SmackDown to claim the World Heavyweight Championship.
The Great Khali left WWE in November 2017 with the expiry of his contract, although he has sporadically appeared since. The former World Champion was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021.
Now Khali has appeared with Bollywood star Aditya Roy Kapoor at Khali’s training academy. The men were joined by Kapoor’s Om: The Battle Within co-star Sanjana Sanghi with The Great Khali and Kapoor going head to head in a push-up contest.
