How Jinny Is Connected to India
Jinny Sandhu, best known as Jinny in WWE’s NXT UK, is of Indian descent. She was born and raised in London but has Punjabi roots, making her part of the South Asian community.
Although she wrestled and lived in the UK, her Indian heritage has been a source of pride. After marrying Gunther in 2022, they shared a joyful moment by dancing Bhangra at their wedding—a traditional Punjabi celebration that went viral on social media.
Jinny has also spoken about being inspired by other South Asian talent, like Mustafa Ali, and hopes to break stereotypes for people of colour in wrestling.
So, while Jinny may not live in India, her Indian heritage, cultural pride, and influence make her a relatable figure for many wrestling fans in the country.
Gunther and Jinny show that off-screen love and family life can be as heartwarming as any WWE storyline.
