Kavita Devi has taken care of not only her sporting responsibilities but also her personal life very well. She fell in love with Volleyball player Gaurav Tomar and the two are married now. Gaurav is from Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh and has been nothing but supportive of Kavita and her sporting endeavours.

Gaurav also works at the Sashastra Sena Bal (SSB). He gave up his own sporting career to support his wife and has made her success his primary goal. Kavita credits Gaurav for being her pillar of strength.

Kavita also has a 5-year-old son named Abhijeet who was born in 2012. Kavita says that her son is the source of her inspiration and that he motivates her to continue training.

In interviews, Kavita has said that she is extremely fortunate for her in-laws being very supportive as well. Her father-in-law was a former Kabaddi player who had encouraged all his children to become sportspersons. He is very proud of Kavita and her achievements and has vowed to continue supporting her.

Her mother-in-law, who is a housewife, takes care of Abhijeet while Kavita is away for training and also manages all domestic responsibilities in her absence, despite her old age.


Kavita Devi’s life story is one that is inspirational, motivational and absolutely jaw-dropping. She has gone through an incredible amount of struggle for every single step that she has had to take to reach where she is today.

As fans of WWE and other professional wrestling organisations, we are used to seeing Superstars who have also struggled and toiled to get to where they’re at, but nothing beats the struggle of an Indian woman, who has faced every obstacle imaginable in her life and has triumphed over all of them to finally achieve her dream of being in the WWE.

Despite all her success, Kavita had claimed before her tryout that she was still not satisfied and that signing a WWE contract was her ultimate goal. I, for one, certainly hope that she puts up a good display at the Mae Young Classic so that the WWE sign her up.

I wouldn’t be saying these words if it was for anyone else in Kavita’s place. Knowing her, however, if there is one person who can achieve the impossible in the face of insurmountable odds, it is, indeed, Kavita “Devi” Dalal.

And so she will.
