IMPACT Wrestling star Bhupinder Gujjar is in the midst of a dream run. Since returning to the company, he's been on a tear, going through one opponent after another.

The young Indian man who traveled halfway across the world with a dream is certainly living it. At the same time, he takes the utmost pride in representing his country on such a grand stage.

Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling, Gujjar elaborated upon what the idea of representing India means to him:

"It is important I believe because if you want to be unique, you have to represent from where you are. And I am proud that I’m from India. I always wanted to represent my country in any sport. But I wanted to be a professional wrestler, so it feels great when they take my name and take my country’s name. Bhupinder Gujjar from India. It makes me happy that at least they’re taking my country’s name," said Gujjar. [9:22-10:00]

The IMPACT Wrestling star may no longer be based in his homeland, but he's proud to carry the banner across the world:

"It’s on peoples’ TV screens and I’m representing my culture. So I don’t think I can do that stuff in any other sport but I’m doing it here which makes me proud. I love my country. I’m not living here. But I’m happy whenever I get a chance to represent my country." [10:01-10:38]
