Dalip Singh Rana, widely known as The Great Khali, believes that staying strong and positive are only ways to deal with the lockdown phase.

Spending his lockdown days at his residence in Kangniwal village in Jalandhar, Khali said, “The self-isolation phase has given me a chance to explore new opportunities to make a balance between my personal and professional life.”

Motivating others to utilise the time in making personal bonds stronger, he said, “These days, I have been focusing on those things which were neglected in the past. Apart from doing household chores with my family members, I also spend time in gardening. The lockdown has brought focus on sustainable environment and its values.”

The first Indian World Champion in the WWE history, Khali also ensures that his physical activity does not hindered during the lockdown. In an enclosed health club at his resident, he works out on a regular basis. To motivate students of his wrestling academy, he conducts online sessions and asks them practise regularly.

Khali, who has appeared in several movies and TV shows, is worried about the soaring number of domestic violence, depression and suicide cases during the lockdown.

“Keeping the social distancing on mind, people shouldn’t lose hope. Tough days are dealt with patience and hope. Every individual should appreciate this time as it has given them an opportunity to improve their relations,” he added.

Helping stranded passengers and migrants, he has also distributed food among them. He urged the administration to take special care of labourers and underprivileged as they are the worst-hit.
