Shah Rukh Khan once responded to Navjot Singh Sidhu's Bollywood success query: Here's how

Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has showered praises on Shah Rukh Khan and recalled an old conversation with the actor.

Shah Rukh Khan was present at the Kolkata Knight Riders match in Eden Gardens on Saturday.

Navjot's words of admiration for Shah Rukh during the match are now circulating on social media platforms.

While praising the 49-year-old actor, Sidhu said, “Shah Rukh Khan is quite an honorary figure. I have heard from Abhishek Bachchan that SRK is the most secure person ever in the industry. He often encourages other actors.” 

Navjot also reminisced about a conversation with Shah Rukh during his tenure as a television actor, saying, “I once met him at Model School ground. At that time, he was doing Circus and there was a show called Fauji."

"I asked him what he wanted to do and he said he wanted to go to Bollywood. When I enquired how he planned to do so without having a relative, and with the competition there, how did he plan to be successful? That is when he said, ‘I don’t compete with anyone but myself.’ I have never forgotten this incident. That day I knew that this man would go a long way. He is as humble as he is successful.”
