Meet WWE superstar 'The Great Khali' and his family

International wrestler who shot fame after becoming a part of World Wrestling Entertainment ‘The Great Khali’ is a cynosure in world wrestling, particularly for his extraordinary height and giant appearance.

Originally named Dalip Singh Rana, Khali has been one of the most followed WWE superstars after his debut on January 2, 2006.

Khali was the first Indian to sign a contract joined with WWE and soon to became a superstar.

He married Haripnder Kaur of Punjab on February 27, 2002.

The journey of Khali started from a small village called Dhiraina in Himachal Pradesh. Growing up in a financially unsound family along with six siblings was never easy for him. The struggle kept him away from school and he had to break stones as a road worker to earn his bread.

But behind the struggle, Khali had something in his favour: acromegaly. The disease associated with gigantism gave Khali a big stature and some facial deformities.

The unusual height of Khali was a blessing in disguise for him as he caught the attention of the policemen in Punjab. They managed to land him a job in Punjab Police through sports quota, and just like that, Khali, who never saw school, became a policeman.

Along with his duties in the police force, Khali started giving time for bodybuilding as well. Like every story, his story also had a turning point, and it came when he came across a telecast of World Wrestling Federation.

Nahan native Dalip Singh Rana, famously known as The Great Khali, was blessed with a baby girl at a hospital in Houston, USA, in 2014.
