While he nailed the phrases ‘Kaa Haal Ba’ (Bhojpuri) and ‘Kem Cho’ (Gujarati), he faltered on some simple ones like ‘Kaise Hai Aap’ (Hindi) and ‘Ki Haal’ (Punjabi). But anyhow, it was fun to watch the Mighty Lashley take up this challenge and speak some of the most beloved words and phrases in the Indian vernacular languages.
In March 2019, WWE had launched this new series called WWE Now India for its fans in the country. Every week, the show delivers a desi twist to the breaking news, exclusive interviews and hottest stories in WWE that have all of India talking, as well as previews and recaps of Raw, SmackDown, NXT and pay-per-views, including WrestleMania.
Fans in India were cracking up after seeing Bobby mess up with many words on the show. They are now hoping to see other superstars take up this challenge too, especially Roman Reigns. It could indeed be a great way for them and the company to bond with their audience in India.
This isn’t the first time either that Bobby has made his affinity felt with India. The WWE wrestler has previously also spoken fondly about the sprawling land.
