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

The Better Sister Season 2: Has Prime Video renewed the show? Here's what you can expect
The gripping narrative of The Better Sister , which recently concluded its run on Prime Video, has left viewers with more questions than answers—chief among them: Will there be a Season 2? Though the murder at the heart of the plot has been resolved, audiences are still eager to see what lies ahead for the central characters, particularly the complex relationship between sisters Chloe and Nicky. No Official Renewal Yet for The Better Sister Season 2 Despite the buzz, Amazon's Prime Video has not announced a renewal for The Better Sister Season 2. The psychological thriller, adapted from the standalone novel by bestselling author Alafair Burke, was originally billed as a limited series, indicating that it was conceived as a one-season narrative, as mentioned in a report by Decider. Given that the source material does not have a sequel, and considering Prime Video's tendency to cap some of its dramatic titles at a single installment, the likelihood of a continuation appears slim at this stage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo However, given the streaming platform's growing appetite for returning series and the show's popularity, fans continue to hope for a creative expansion. Season 1 Ends With a Shocking Twist The finale of The Better Sister delivered a dramatic revelation that Nicky (played by Elizabeth Banks) was responsible for the murder of her ex-husband Adam (Corey Stoll). The climactic episode reveals that Nicky acted in self-defense during a heated confrontation, where she stabbed Adam after years of abuse and manipulation. Live Events In a twist of loyalty and cunning, Chloe (portrayed by Jessica Biel) helps cover up her sister's actions by framing Adam's employer, Bill Braddock (Matthew Modine), who was implicated in a human trafficking scheme. Chloe plants the murder weapon in his office and tips off the FBI, thereby redirecting suspicion and ensuring his arrest. Total Episode Count and Premiere Details The debut season of The Better Sister consists of eight tightly paced episodes, each with a runtime of approximately one hour. The series premiered on May 29, with all episodes released simultaneously for binge-watching. The show swiftly gained attention for its layered storytelling, compelling performances, and moral ambiguity, sparking discussions on social media and drawing praise for its exploration of familial loyalty under pressure. Stellar Ensemble Cast Shines in Dark Thriller In addition to Biel, Banks, Modine, and Stoll, the series also features Maxwell Acee Donovan as Ethan, Nicky and Adam's son, Kim Dickens as the investigative Detective Nan Guidry, Gloria Reuben as attorney Michelle Sander, Gabriel Sloyer as Jake Rodriguez, and Bobby Naderi as Detective Matt Bowen, as per a report by Decider. Their collective performances contribute to the show's tense atmosphere, blending personal trauma with legal drama in a narrative that leaves viewers on edge. Streaming Now: All Episodes on Prime Video Though the fate of The Better Sister Season 2 remains unconfirmed, the show continues to draw new viewers. With all episodes now available on Prime Video, those curious about the morally complex decisions of Chloe and Nicky can catch the full story on demand. For now, fans must wait and watch whether Prime Video opts to revisit this world, or leave its chilling conclusion untouched. FAQs Has The Better Sister been renewed for Season 2? No. As of now, Amazon Prime Video has not announced a renewal. The show was originally promoted as a limited series. Is The Better Sister based on a book? Yes. The series is based on the standalone novel by bestselling author Alafair Burke. The book does not have a sequel.

When Tamil scripts become a fashion trend
Case in point: Chennai-based designer Vivek Karunakaran's latest collection Idam (Tamil for 'place'), which debuted in Feb at the FDCI India Men's Week in Jaipur, featuring the Tamil script as individual letters and complete Thirukkural couplets. Karunakaran says the collection began as a tribute to the city, but from there, the thread of the narrative evolved into a celebration of identity, 'an unapologetic expression of who we are and where we come from'. He adds that the collection is being expanded to include women's wear. 'It's declaration of pride.' In one look, Karunakaran has a verse of the Kural block-printed on a jacket paired with Korean pants. 'We've gone beyond just printing the alphabet to creating meaningful designs,' says Karunakaran, whose clothes are priced between Rs 6,000 and Rs 60,000. Designers from outside Tamil Nadu too are scripting the language into their couture. In Mumbai, actor Sonam Kapoor was recently spotted in a cream saree designed by Masaba, which had the Tamil letters, 'th', 'na' and more in black and gold. 'The Tamil script has a unique visual appeal,' says Karthiknathan S, a graphic designer who specialises in Tamil lettering. 'With almost 216 distinct characters, there is a lot of visual diversity.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bolsas nos olhos? (Tente isso hoje à noite) Revista Saúde & Beleza Saiba Mais Undo He adds that when Tamil was adapted into a font, ascenders and descenders were adjusted for visual consistency. 'As a result, words and sentences form patterns with varying heights and depths. Depending on the preceding or following letter, ascenders or descenders are altered, creating intriguing patterns. It pushes the possibilities of what can be done with the Tamil letter.' This, perhaps, explains why Tamil-script clothes have been well received, even by those unfamiliar with the language, says Dubai-based designer Vino Supraja, who has incorporated it into her collection 'Purisai', named after the Purisai Nadaga Pairchi Palli, a therukoothu school founded by Kannapa Sambandhan Ayya, who was awarded the Padma Shri this year. She adds that the appeal is so universal that most of her clients for the collection are Emiratis and Singaporeans, not Tamilians. 'After our London Fashion Week show, the script became a conversation starter. It gave us a chance to discuss Tamil language, therukoothu, and Purisai's cultural richness. The Tamil script is the visual anchor,' says Supraja, who grew up in Vandavasi, 10km from Purisai, where her father served as a doctor. Supraja also wore a saree featuring the school's name in her handwriting when she received the Global Sustainable Trailblazer Award recently at the House of Commons. Mayank Bhutra, a designer from Rajasthan raised in Erode (which is why he has named his brand Erode), says using the Tamil script in his clothes is about celebrating the place where he grew up. 'We're in the process of developing our own typeface for the clothes, blending Tamil and English in a contemporary design,' says Bhutra, who adds that as a child, he saw Jamakalam weavers at work and was fascinated. When he returned to the craft as an adult, he realised that despite years of tradition and a GI tag, there were no new designs or patterns. And that, he adds, was when he decided to help script Jamakalam a 'contemporary identity.'
