Somehow, I managed to get three tickets and I went there with my sister and father, who was also a wrestler." "There was a popular story then, that Dara Singh had a trishul (Trident) on his back, which gave him all the power. If he was furious, his third eye would open and he would beat his opponents black and blue."
