Legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger Faced a Big Fat Rejection at One of Seven Wonders of the World Once

The GOAT bodybuilder and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger is known for his versatility. His approach to doing more than just talking helped him become the 38th governor of California. At the same time, his creative environmental solutions left a lasting impression on the public’s hearts. 

Once, while attending an environment-related conference, the seven-time Mr. Olympia winner reached India. However, he faced a big rejection when he visited one of the world’s seven wonders, the Taj Mahal. In 2012, the bodybuilder reached Agra city to enjoy the glorious Taj, but the time he picked for the tour turned out wrong. 

Schwarzenegger’s trip to the Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is known to be one of the biggest centers of attraction in India. Each year, millions of foreign visitors take a trip to explore the culture of this wonderful monument. But unfortunately, when Arnold took the trip to mesmerize his eyes with his tourist guide, he couldn’t get inside. 

It turned out that when Arnold visited, it was the time for a Muslim prayer session on Friday. As a result, the guards couldn’t allow him to get inside and asked him to come back again later. However, near the Taj Mahal, he attracted much attention. His Indian fans also wanted to see the Terminator-fame actor live. After interacting with locals, he clicked pictures of the Taj from the road outside and continued exploring other regions.
