Shah Rukh Khan was told to quit Bollywood even before starting by this cricket legend. 'They will eat you...'
Before Shah Rukh Khan became a household name in Indian cinema , he had already gained popularity on television with shows like Fauji and Circus. Cricketer-turned-commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu recently shared a story from the time when SRK was still on the cusp of fame. In an interview on the Magic Moments YouTube channel, Sidhu recalled a conversation they had in Lucknow, where the young actor approached him as a fan. According to Sidhu, Khan expressed his admiration by saying, 'Sir, I am a huge fan,' to which Sidhu responded with equal enthusiasm, telling him that he watched him daily on TV. The cricketer remembered that even Kapil Dev, who was present at the time, asked about Shah Rukh. Sidhu told him confidently that this young man was destined to become a star. A Strong Warning About Bollywood The turning point in their interaction came when Shah Rukh shared his plans to move to Mumbai and try his luck in films. Sidhu recalled being alarmed by the decision, saying he told SRK, 'Teri mat maari gayi hai?'—a Hindi phrase expressing disbelief. Concerned, Sidhu advised him that surviving in Bollywood required strong backing, especially since his parents were no longer alive to support him. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She lives in a 150 sq. ft.
