Managing The Great Khali (2007-2011)
In 2007, Kapoor began his career with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as the heel manager and translator for The Great Khali under the ring name Ranjin Singh. During his time managing The Great Khali, Singh actually competed in a tag team match with Great Khali as his partner against Finlay and Hornswoggle, which they lost. Finlay & Hornswoggle defeat Ranjin Singh & The Great Khali" After Khali turned face, Singh appeared in in-ring segments with Khali such as 'Khali Kiss Cam'.
In 2009, while Khali was feuding with Kane, Singh was kidnapped by Kane. On April 29, 2011 episode of SmackDown, Jinder Mahal made his televised WWE debut greeting Khali and Singh backstage. During the segment, Mahal spoke in Punjabi that he was really happy and excited that Khali and Ranjin were there. On their part, both of them were happy too. The next week, Mahal, unimpressed by how Khali and Singh have been partaking in childish activities instead of winning matches, confronted Singh about his mismanagement of Khali. Mahal interrupted a Khali Kiss Cam segment the following week, slapping Khali twice to no response from the giant. On May 20, Mahal interrupted The Great Khali's match against Jey Uso leading Khali to leave the ring to confront Mahal. The week after Khali turned on Singh by attacking him and joining Mahal.
