Wazir Begum's career

Gama started practising when he was 10 years old. During that time, his workout routine included 500 lunges and 500 pushups daily. When he competed in a lunge contest with over 400 wrestlers in Jodhpur in 1888, he bagged Maharaja of Jodhpur's title. His success during the competition shot him into the limelight all over the royal states of India.
The Great Gama fought and defeated prominent wrestlers like Jesse Peterson, Maurice Deriaz of Switzerland, "Doc" Benjamin Roller of the United States, and Johann Lemm (the European Champion) of Switzerland. These performances earned him the Indian World Heavyweight Championship in 19l0 and the World Wrestling Championship in 1927.
Due to his extraordinary strength, in 1902, at the age of 20, he lifted a stone of 1,200 kg, which is now at the Broda museum. Interestingly, it would have taken 25 people and a machine to lift the same stone. He is an icon to wrestlers and fighters like Bruce Lee and many more in his career of over 52 years.
Personal life
Wazir Begum's husband was the Great Gama. Though her husband is reportedly known for having two spouses, she is the only known wife of the Indian strong man. She had one child with him, but they were parents and guardians to nine children: five boys and four girls.
Her granddaughter later became the first lady of Pakistan, and another granddaughter named Sairo Bano also married a public figure named Jhara Pehalwan.
Unfortunately, after some years of happiness, the family was left in pandemonium following the deaths of their sons at young ages. Jalaluddin, born in 1945, was the youngest son to die at the age of 13, which made the Great Gama devasted and dumb for some days.
With this, the Indian strong man later died from heart disease on 23rd May 1960 in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, at 82.
Net worth
Wazir Begum's net worth then was not revealed. Whereas, according to the Popular Net Worth's website, her husband had an estimated net worth of between $1 million and $5 million at his death. He earned this much from his career as a professional wrestler.
Wazir Begum's affiliation with a legend made her famous, even in death. Her husband remains a pacesetter to upcoming and known wrestlers, and as long as he is honoured and remembered, his wife remains part of his history.
