#6 He was the runner-up on the Indian Big Brother version
Bigg Boss is a very popular Indian show, created on the lines of Big Brother, the internationally acclaimed, controversial, reality series. The Great Khali was a contestant on the fourth season of the show and went as far as the finale.
His popularity was such that even though he did not win the series, he was declared the runner-up even becoming House Captain twice during his time in the Bigg Boss house.
One astounding fact about Khali is that because none of the beds in the house would fit him, the creators of the show had a bed made specifically for him! We do not exaggerate when we talk about his popularity in his home country.
