WWE Champion Jinder Mahal recently spoke with NBSNews.com and below are some interview highlights:
On his demeanor outside of WWE:
“I’m very down to earth, quiet. I’m kind of a homebody. I have a little dog. She keeps me company,” Dhesi said. “I just like to train and diet and get my rest so my body can recover so I can wrestle.”
“It’s an entertainment industry, and I know you have to turn up the volume, which I’m now comfortable doing,” he added. ”At first I was very shy to talk into the mic and to talk in front of people.”
On his finishing move being a tribute to The Great Khali:
“His finishing move was the cobra clutch,” Dhesi said. “As a tribute to him, my finishing move is the cobra clutch into a slam.”
On his physical transformation:
“You put in the hard work and then the result comes,” Dhesi said. “It’s not that you see the result and then you put in the hard work. I was preparing myself.”
“There’s a saying, ‘force the result,’” he added. “I was constantly getting in better shape, really watching what I eat, improving on all the facets of my game, so when the opportunity came, I would be ready. You have to stay ready.”
