Navjot Singh Sidhu warned Shah Rukh Khan against joining Bollywood, said ‘they will eat you like a sausage': ‘Have you lost your mind?'
Before Shah Rukh Khan made it in the movies, he was seen in a few television shows and while he was starting to get famous as the 'Fauji' guy from the Doordarshan show, SRK knew he wanted to make it in the movies. Recently, cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu recalled a conversation that he had with SRK before he moved to Mumbai, and shared that even back then, Shah Rukh was confident in his work and was certain about his success. In a chat shared on Magic Moments' YouTube channel, Sidhu recalled that he warned Shah Rukh about the big, bad world of Bollywood but SRK was completely unafraid.
He recalled meeting Shah Rukh during a match in Lucknow where the actor walked up to him to share that he was a fan. 'Shah Rukh came up to me and said, 'Sir, I am a huge fan'. I told him, 'I watch you every day. We switch on the TV just to see you on Fauji and Circus'. He was very happy to hear that. Kapil Dev asked me who he was and I told him that he is the next star,' he shared.

When Sidhu asked Shah Rukh about his future plans, the actor shared that he was moving to Mumbai. 'He said, Sir, I am going to Bollywood. I said, 'Teri mat maari gayi hai? (Have you lost your mind?)' I told him, 'you need parents there, you need someone who can support you. Your parents aren't there, you just told me'. He told me, 'Sidhu saab, I will manage',' Sidhu recalled.
He then shared what he told Shah Rukh at the time, 'I told him, 'there's cutthroat competition there. They will eat you like a sausage for breakfast'. That's the exact line I told him. He said 'Sidhu saab, can I say something?' He told me, 'I don't compete with anyone. I am my own competition'.' He further praised Shah Rukh and said, 'He is a very polite man. He is just as polite today. Abhishek Bachchan came on our show. He said, 'He is the only guy who is not insecure'. Only those who are completely comfortable with themselves are not insecure.'

Ananya Panday's cousin sister and influencer Alanna Panday and her husband Ivor McCray are over the moon, embracing their new journey of parenthood. After welcoming their baby boy River last year, the couple has been sharing interesting vlogs of their everyday life. With over 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube, they recently posted a vlog of planning River's first birthday, meeting the family in Mumbai, and plans to name their future babies. In the video, Ivor mentioned that his wife Alanna wants to name her future kids after 'water bodies'. 'Alanna the other day told me that she wants to name the next baby 'Coast'. And, I nearly shut down the idea. There's no way we are having a Coast and a River,' he shared with the viewers. Citing examples of what names they could shortlist, she smiled and replied, 'It's so cute. Imagine if all are babies were named after water bodies, like River, Coast, Mile, Flow. Nile is a cool name.' Ivor instantly jumped and said, 'Stream! It's great, let's do that.'

I like River the most and we are going to stay away from all other water bodies moving forward.' Later during the day, Ananya Panday and her sister Rysa visit their house to meet little River.
