I don’t know anything about his political career. He wrestled at least through 1980. He was the “World Champion”. At the time I really thought he was a world champ. Then I realized only way to be world champ is by winning g Olympics or world championships. Professional wresting is more tamasha. Though the wrestler you presented appears to be the real.deal.

As an actor Dara Singh played the role of Bhima convincingly 8 the 1965 color film Mahabharat. When I think of Bhima I think of Dara Singh. He also had a nice small role in Anand. Protecting Rajesh Khan against street thugs.

He passed away 2 to 3 yrs ago. Played grandfather roles up to his death.

Have you heard about Kikkar Singh ? I heard that he was very tall wrestler and once after losing a game went into the jungle and punch on the kikar trees so his hands were very strong and even i read that he uprooted the kikar tree so he was famous with this name “Kikkar Singh”
