Interestingly, both members of Indus Sher have done some work on the small screen before making their way to WWE. Rinku Singh, as previously mentioned, rose to fame by winning the reality show, ‘The Million Dollar Arm’. This victory resulted in him bagging a tryout in Major League Baseball, and eventually getting a contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates. A movie named Million Dollar Arm was made in 2014, chronicling the journey of Rinku and Dinesh Patel, and their eventual signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
As for his WWE counterpart Saurav Gurjar, he played several roles on Indian television, starring in shows like Mahabharat and Sankat Mochan Mahabali Hanuman. Mahabharat is an Indian epic that tells the story of the Pandava brothers and their struggles against the Kauravas, which ultimately leads to the 18-day epic war. Additionally, Gurjar will soon be making his debut in Bollywood in the movie Brahmāstra, in which he will portray the role of a villain. It stars a string of bigwigs from Bollywood, like Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt. The film is set to release on the big screens next year.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
