Children started interacting with him by asking his real name (his real name is Paul) and his weight. Big show was really humble and he signed our Pehelwanji books and also autographed an A4 size picture of his for the kids. The kids reciprocated his gesture by handing out a handmade greetings and thank you card. Out of 20 cards he really liked 2 cards. It was really fun for the children and they were happy to get this beautiful opportunity.

Today we met Pehelwanji – and he doesn’t drink milk! Big Show is a really big guy but he is very cool, frank and polite to everyone. Today (Valentine’s Day) is very special for him as 14th February, 1999 was when he debuted at WWF.
The session went off well and the kids were very happy to see a 7 foot Pehelwanji.
He is such a lovable hulk! I had never met a wrestler before and wrestling bouts are not my cup of coffee. But this 7ft 400 pounder is just too cute. We had the most interesting conversation on a wide variety of things . You can see what a hit he was with the kids from the pictures.
Even Big Show was sharing picures on his Twitter account:
