Former WWE superstar The Great Khali was involved in a brief but widely discussed moment after a video surfaced showing him nudging a fan while posing for a selfie. The incident occurred as the fan attempted to take a photograph with the towering wrestling legend but inadvertently stepped into Khali’s path.

In a clip shared by Viral Bhayani, Khali can be seen moving forward when the fan accidentally blocks his way. The former World Heavyweight Champion responds by gently nudging the individual in the back, seemingly to clear space and continue walking. While the interaction was brief, it quickly caught the attention of fans online due to Khali’s massive stature and intimidating presence.

Many viewers pointed out that the moment did not appear aggressive, suggesting it was an unintentional act caused by the fan’s positioning rather than any display of anger. Others highlighted the challenges public figures face when navigating crowds, especially athletes of Khali’s size.

Despite the brief controversy, the moment appears to be a minor misunderstanding rather than a serious altercation, and no injuries or further confrontation were reported.
