It isn’t always easy having a famous parent.
Bianca Carelli, daughter of former WWE Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella recently appeared on the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast and explained the moment where she realized just how famous her father was.
“I actually have a specific memory. I lived in Milton, Ontario for a few years of my childhood, like 12 to 16. My dad got a place nearby in Milton too. One day he picks me up and we go to the Milton mall, which is the smallest mall ever. So we were walking through the mall and someone yells ‘Santino! Santino!’ I was like [confused expression] him? My dad? Someone recognized you? It was the first time that someone had recognized him and it was in a small place too, which was weird. It was cool but after a while I was like I want my dad back. That started happening more often, I get that it comes with the business. You have to make time for the fans. It took some getting used to but it was cool.”
Carelli would also delve into her decision to shift her focus from being a surgeon to follow in her father’s footsteps of being a professional wrestler among other topics.
