#1 He thanked India and offered his advice
Jinder Mahal may be an undisputed heel in WWE, but to many of his fans in India, he’s a hero. They feel that Mahal represents their country and seeing him with the WWE Championship around his shoulder has to be a proud feeling for them.
Mahal is very appreciative of his fans in India. Despite him being a heel, he openly thanked his fans in India and encouraged them to tune into SmackDown Live every week to watch him become, in his words, one of the greatest champions of all time.

Mahal also had some words of advice for the children of India, encouraging them to make good decisions and follow their dreams.
“I also want to send a message to India’s youth. Anything is possible. Especially in Punjab, there’s a huge drug problem right now. Stay away from that, take care of your body and respect yourself. Play sports, do exercise, stay healthy, get a good education and better your life. Anything is possible as long as you’re willing to put in the work,” Mahal said.
Nobody knows that’s true more than Mahal. The Maharaja became WWE champion strictly through hard work and dedication. It’s great to see him encouraging the youth of India to follow similar steps to achieve their own dreams.
