Rahul Chaudhari Biography

Early Days

Rahul Chaudhari was born in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor district on 16th June 1993. From childhood itself, Chaudhari had a propensity for Kabaddi.

A major challenge that Rahul Chaudhari faced in childhood was of being overweight. It may be a bit difficult to imagine that one of the most nimble and quick kabaddi players was once obese too.

The reason for – a habit of eating unhealthy food. It was so severe that, when his parents took him to a doctor, he straightaway declared that Chaudhari would live no longer considering his unusual weight.

Since that time, his parents provided a special attention on how ways to cut down his fat intake. His dairy products intake was increased and he was fed pure protein. A special attention was paid towards Rahul’s fitness. Probably, that may just be the reason why Chaudhari is considered as one of the fittest athletes apart from being quick and agile.

Soon, Rahul started to develop a fondness. In fact, he had started to play the sport in school when he was just 13-years-old. Even after schools, he would straight away go to play the sport, without even having lunch.

However, his parents failed to recognize his passion and talent for Kabaddi. In an interview, Rahul disclosed how, initially, his parents would scold him to stop ruining his life and “focus on studies.” He would also get beaten occasionally.

As a result, however talented he was, he would have difficulties in manoeuvring in opponent’s half while raiding.

Nevertheless, Rahul had made up his mind that he wanted to pursue a career in professional kabaddi. He held on with his dream of one day playing for the national team.

Brave Decision

In 2007, he secretly attended the trial that was held by Sports Authority of India (SAI). Incidentally, he was selected in the trials and was also offered a place in the training camp in Gandhinagar. Without a second thought, Rahul went to Gujarat, in spite of opposition from his family, especially his father. However, this was going to be a big decision for the youngster.
