This 48 years old professional wrestler has had quite a rough childhood. As a young boy, he had to earn a living to support his family. Khali couldn’t pursue higher education and worked as a roadside labourer in Himachal Pradesh for some time. He then transferred to Shimla to work as a security guard. Khali’s height has been his greatest advantage. His tall and powerful look was enough to hire him for the job. Dalip was born in a small village, Dhiraina located in the Sirmour district of Himachal Pradesh.

He was one among the other six children born to his father Jwala Ram and mother Tandi Devi. While working as a security guard, Khali received a job by Mahal Singh Bhullar at the Punjab Police. Mahal Singh Bhullar was the police chief back then. He knew Khali was worth a try. Eventually, Rana headed back to his home Jalandhar, Punjab. That is when Rana began wrestling at the local gym. Khali has been married to Harminder Kaur since 2002. She does not match Khali’s height in feet at all. But, as people say, love is not about physical attraction. They have been happily married for 18 years now and also share a gorgeous baby daughter.
