Big Forkers Train with Akhada Wrestlers for Food | Hard Life | Aitihasik Akhada |

Sid vs. Shanky: The Ultimate Akhada Showdown 🍛🤼‍♂️
Get ready for the most epic workout of the century! Sid and Shanky, two food-loving warriors, step into the traditional Indian akhada (wrestling arena) with one goal in mind: WIN to DINE! 🍲
Watch as these two brothers-turned-frenemies train and then battle it out in the mud, showcasing their... unique wrestling techniques and questionable stamina. With every grapple and throw, the stakes get higher because only the winner gets to eat on some much needed protiens.
Learn about the life of the Pehlwans (wrestlers) who dedicate their lives to the Akhada life and the balance between sports and trying to earn a living. The options get limited fast, between becoming muscle for hire or joining gangs to earn a keep. Its a tough life
Who will reign supreme and satisfy their growling stomach? Will Sid's secret move, "The Butter Chicken Slam," overpower Shanky's "Samosa Spin"? Or will they both end up flat on their backs, dreaming of gulab jamuns? 🤔 Tune in for laughs, thrills, and maybe a few spills in this hilarious and action-packed showdown.

Kudos to you guys for promoting this great ancient tradition 👍

[@TheBigForkers]

Thank you so much

[@MrSanblazer]

Not many people realise.. But wrestling is actually hardcore.. Some of the best mma fighter like khabib and the dagestanis are hardcore grapplers. I was truly impressed with the piece you showed in the begin ing about Malayudh.. Now I want to know more about how it got exported else where.

[@siddheshshivraj3534]

absolutely impressed with shankys efforts and form while doing suryanamaskar

[@shashankjayakumar4990]

Thanks man 👍👊

[@himanshushinde628]

Unique thing about this show is this kind of content only where no one reaches they are reaching and providing content to wider audience. Keep going guys

[@TheBigForkers]

Thank you man. Appreciate it. ❤️

[@saikiranbandlamudi]

Want the Dangal!

[@ShubhamThakur067]

You guys were just 400 mtrs away from my home. The place you were shooting is a food heaven. There are so many around which are famous for their food.

[@TheBigForkers]

Pity we missed it, but we're getting punished enough

[@mehmoodali7602]

There used to be Akharas within homes. My maternal grandfather and his brother used to have one.

[@TheBigForkers]

Amazing

[@iBeeRaut]

I believe that many of us have not had the opportunity to experience akhada like you have. I truly appreciate that you created such an engaging video featuring our traditional sport. Loved this episode guys, these phelwans are so fascinating, like they've devoted so much of their lives into this! Legendary stuff guys. What an amazing experience this must've been.

[@TheBigForkers]

We need to do more for this sport

[@missuzma18]

These Akhadas are age old traditions of our city Varanasi / Banaras as well. Our forefathers were very much into organising and watching such events. Still have some recognition from the police administration of 1890s for these activities

[@TheBigForkers]

We would like to revive this somehow

[@SandeepVen-g1u]

Wow this was a great episode . Really made the boys sweat and not all about food .

[@TheBigForkers]

Thanks, we wanted to do something different

[@sparkyboy1990]

[@TheBigForkers]

There was some pain, but well worth it.

[@SagarChaudhary2006]

They can't and don't eat meat in Akhara. They pray to Hanuman ji. Definitely no Meat inside.

[@TheBigForkers]

But they do so outside

[@vangmayjayant1595]

The first rule of the fight club is you don't eat away from the fight club

[@santoshsahni6688]

Ustad and Students are equally opposite side of spectrum. Ustad’s expression is priceless; when he looks at Sid and inquires; “Kya Karna Chahte Hoo App” 😂😂😂😂
