Sidhu Recalls Kapil Sharma’s Humble Beginnings ..?
Navjot Singh Sidhu recently praised Kapil Sharma’s journey in an interview with Navbharat Times.
He revealed that Kapil first appeared on tv in 2006 looking like a 45-year-old, with no hair and a potbelly.
Despite his appearance, Kapil’s talent stood out when given the right platform.
Sidhu emphadata-sized, “Talent without opportunity is meaningless.”
Sidhu shared how societal and parental pressures often discourage people from following their passion.
He said, “The biggest disease in the world is – what will people say?”
He used Kapil’s early days at Bhullar’s theatre society, where he earned Rs 100 for two days of work, as an example of humble beginnings.
Drawing a parallel with IPL, Sidhu noted, “A platform can turn someone into a star overnight.”
Known for his trademark one-liners, Sidhu’s quotes have become famously known as "Sidhuisms."
He recalled a memorable meeting with George Bush, arranged by Dr. manmohan Singh.
Bush asked him to share a quote on positivity. Sidhu said,
“Keep your data-face towards the sun so you never have to see your shadow.”
He stressed that his quotes aren’t planned — they’re spoken from the heart.
After a 2023 sabbatical due to his wife’s cancer diagnosis, Sidhu is making a gradual comeback.
He launched a YouTube channel in april 2025 and returned to Netflix india with The Great indian Kapil Show.
Sidhu now appears as a judge on India’s Got Talent, alongside malaika arora and Shaan.
The show airs every saturday and sunday at 9:30 PM on sony TV.
