Shah Rukh Khan's savage reply after Navjot Singh Sidhu warned him '‘Bollywood will eat you like a sausage': 'I don't compete with...'
Navjot Singh Sidhu
recently opened up about a candid moment with
Shah Rukh Khan
, where he warned the young actor about the fierce challenges of Bollywood. What followed was a bold and confident response from SRK that perfectly captured the superstar's fearless mindset — a mindset that has driven him to become one of the biggest names in Indian cinema.
From Television Stardom to Rising Bollywood Icon
Sidhu recalled meeting Shah Rukh in Lucknow after a match, where SRK was clearly excited to meet him. In return, Sidhu mentioned that he watched television mainly to see SRK in shows like Fauji and Circus. When Kapil Dev asked Sidhu about who SRK was, Sidhu described him as a rising big star.
Facing Bollywood's Challenges Head-On
Sidhu recalled asking SRK about his future plans and warning him against entering Bollywood.
He cautioned SRK about the challenges ahead, saying he would need strong support since his parents wouldn't be there. Despite the warning about the fierce competition that could easily overwhelm him, SRK confidently replied that he would manage on his own.
Sidhu then remembered how Shah Rukh responded to his warning, explaining that SRK told him he didn't see anyone else as competition—he competed only with himself. He described SRK as a very polite man, just as he is today. Sidhu also recalled

According to Bachchan, only someone as strong and steady as the Himalayas can remain unaffected by small challenges—and SRK has always been that way.

Vijay Sethupathi faces serious casting couch allegations by user Ramya Mohan, deletes post later
Actor Vijay Sethupathi, who is known for his stunning acting in movies like Super Deluxe, 96, Vikram Vedha, Maharaja and Jawan , is reportedly in trouble as he has been accused by a social media user Ramya Mohan for destroying a life of a girl she knows. The post shared by Ramya has been deleted now. In the deleted post, the user alleged that Vijay Sethupathi is involved in perpetuating a toxic culture within the film industry. The words like drugs, manipulation, casting couch practices, and exploitation of vulnerable individuals were involved in the post. The long-deleted post can be read here. 'Kollywood's drug & casting couch culture isn't a joke. A girl I know now a known face in media was dragged into a world she never signed up for. She's now in rehab center. Dr**, manipulation, and transactional exploitation disguised as industry norm. @VijaySethuOffl has offered Rs. 2L for 'caravan favors', Rs. 50k for 'drives' and acts like saint on social media. She was used by him for years. This isn't one story. It's many and the media worships these men like they are saints. The drug-sx nexus is real. Not a joke.' The social media user expressed frustration over the lack of empathy from the public in another post. She said, 'It's insane how some insensitive morons are more focused on questioning the source or blaming the victim than actually acknowledging the truth. This truth hit the family like a storm when they went through her diary and phone chats. This wasn't just some story. This was her life, her pain…' *The post has been deleted now.
