I don't think of anyone as rich or poor.
Life is too precious to be squandered for fame or love.
There should be more funding and support for young and upcoming wrestlers.
I am planning to start a K. D. Jadhav Memorial International Championship in which I will have wrestling tournaments all over India. I will make a foundation and, through that, encourage youngsters to participate in sports activities. Jadhavji was my idol, and he inspired people like me to rise above our disabilities and achieve success in life.
My mother told me you marry whoever you want to, as long as you are happy. My parents are very accommodating, and I know they will always support me.
I am a vegetarian, and I am a staunch supporter of all things natural.
Killing a being just to satiate your taste buds is the most criminal act ever.
By God's grace, I'm not hungry for publicity, God has given me enough to fend for myself.
My mantra is - eat little less than your hunger level, consume double the quantity of water, your workout must be tripled, and dose of laughter must be four times!
If you have your family's support, you can overcome anything.
I want to tell all the youngsters in Nagpur and in the rest of India that sports is not merely about winning medals; it is about being fit and healthy. It is not about six-packs and going to gym, but exercising right and eating intelligently.
Karan Patel is my brother and my best friend for life.
Just for the pleasure of being seen on screen with Aamirji, I can't play a loser. It will disappoint my supporters.
With superstars like Aamirji and Salmanji playing real-life wrestlers, the sport will get some positive attention. Just like hockey did when Shah Rukhji played a hockey player in 'Chak De.'
Due to shoots, shows, and travelling, I don't have a fixed schedule, so I train myself whenever I get time, like from 1 A.M. to 3 A.M.
Basically, I'm just an average person who takes a little extra care of his health.
I exercise each day for three hours. I don't get to visit the akhada every day, since I keep travelling, but my training schedule incorporates the exercises that I used to do in the akhada.
I like physically-demanding reality shows, not dance and music shows.
It's been my long-cherished dream to bring a wrestling league to India.
By starting a wrestling league, I hope to provide for wrestling the kind of visible and glamorous platform that the IPL has given to cricket.
