Early Life

Rana was born to a Rajput Family to Jwala RAM and Tandi Devi, his wife, was also born to a Rajput Family in the Dhiraina Village of Himachal Pradesh’s Sirmaur District. Rana was one of seven children from a poor family. He had to work odd jobs to make ends meet. Rana has acromegaly. This condition, among others, causes gigantism as well as chin protrusion.

Rana was working as a Shimla security guard when he met a Punjab Police officer. He had previously helped many employees of the Punjab Police become international athletes and got Rana into the Punjab Police in 1993.

Personal Life

Rana is described as “extremely religious”. Rana meditates daily and abhors alcohol and tobacco. Ashutosh Maharaj was his spiritual mentor. Rana is believed to have suggested The Great Khali as a ring name after Kali, a Hindu goddess associated with eternal energy. In an interview with India TV, he denied the claim and stated that the name was not his own.

Career

Dalip Singh Rana came to America in 1999 as a refugee and joined the All Pro Wrestling boot camp as a trainee. He was known as Giant Singh and made his professional wrestling debut against Tony Jones on October 7, 2000. Singh was in training with Brian Ong on May 28, 2001. Ong was training with Singh when he performed a move called flapjack.

Ong instead of pushing Singh back as instructed grabbed Singh’s shirt. He fell on his tailbone or coccyx, whipping his head violently against the mat. Ong died from the combination of the concussion he had received earlier, which the APW trainers did not diagnose. After a day of deliberation, Ong’s family sued APW to hold them responsible and received $1.3 million in damages.
