The established names lived up to expectations for most part but what stood out for Indian wrestling in 2019-2020 was the rise and rise of Badshah Khan aka Arif Saleem Bohroo amid a steady decline in the fortunes of The Great Khali.Arif Saleem Bohroo, popularly known as ‘Badshah Khan’, recently won the World Heavy Weight Championship 2020 and re-established his supremacy as a world-class wrestler.

 His journey into the world of wrestling began with his father telling him the stories of “The Great Khali” at the age of 13. Those stories of The Great Khali’s struggle, passion and achievements as a world-famous wrestler ignited in young Badshah Khan the hunger to go down the same path and create a place for himself in the ring. Today, Badshah Khan is a renowned wrestler and an inspiring figure for youngsters everywhere.
