The Great Khali always wanted to start an academy in India

Khali made a name for himself during his stint as a WWE Superstar. He is a former World Heavyweight Champion and was insanely popular among Indian fans back then. He had a chat with WWE Now India back in 2022 and revealed that it was his dream to open a wrestling school in India.

"It was my dream to start an academy in India. Since I was a wrestler myself, I did not want to be the last wrestler from India to join WWE. I wanted more young wrestlers from India to go to WWE to make India proud. I had a very hard time when I started my journey. Going from India, getting a visa in the US, finding a good academy to get trained. It was a tough path for me. I also did not have much money. So it was my dream from that time. I went to the US in 2000. My dream was to remove all these barriers and perils for the next generation. So I always had in mind that if I could become something credible, I will create a wrestling academy in India to give youngsters a platform to achieve their dreams." [H/T ITN WWE]
