Tap the bell icon and never miss out
On unique stories from 101India
The name my parents gave me is Sarabjit Kaur
But my identity has given me the name BB Bulbul
As a wrestler, the world knows me by this
name
Sarabjit Kaur was a girl next door, who used
to cook at home and not go out
Like a typical Indian girl
BB Bulbul is an identity I have chosen through
wrestling
As I wanted to do something unique in life
While growing up, I used to watch Bollywood
movies of Dharmendra and Sunny Deol
I always wanted to make my body like theirs
My family told me that wrestling is not a
girl’s sport
They said I should do a B.Ed (Bachelors in
Education) and become a teacher
I always felt I'm meant for something else
My dreams are different from what my parents
want for me
So what should I do?
I heard about a pro wrestling academy called
CWE in Jalandhar
The Great Khali called me up and told me he
had a surprise for me
As soon as I heard about the academy in Jalandhar,
I knew I had to go there
It's like I finally saw the path I was supposed
to be on
I needed someone to guide me
And Khali played that role by bringing professional
wrestling to India
I was finally happy, I felt like I had found
my purpose
When I am in the ring, I transform into a
different person
The only thing I know is to beat my opponent
That aggression stays with me throughout the
match
Wrestling is not a quick sport
The training and mental preparation takes
years
I go to the gym every morning around 6 am
I also have to follow a special diet
Dieting is difficult
Every 2-3 hours you have to eat something
Everyday I eat 10-12 boiled eggs
1 litre milk, salad, fruits and dal, vegetables,
rice, some chapatis etc.
It’s very difficult to maintain this diet,
an intense workout is necessary to digest it
An Indian girl can achieve more than any girl
in the world
Whatever I have achieved in my life is on
my own
I don’t want to become a failure in my life
Wrestling is my life and there is nothing
more to it
I want to see a CWE v/s WWE fight one day
That is my dream
And I know it will happen one day
