Most of us have grown up watching the three Khans of Bollywood. We are talking about Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan who have continued to rule Hindi cinema for decades. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is among the actors known to have worked with all three superstars in their respective movies. Nawazuddin recently shared that his parents felt good when he worked with Salman in Kick. He expressed that they didn’t have a belief in him.

During the latest podcast with The Majlis Show, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was quizzed if his parents initially believed that he wouldn’t be successful in acting unless he collaborated with the Khans.

The Kick actor stated that Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan are big superstars and people feel if an actor works with them, he becomes successful. Contrary to others’ opinions, his mother and father didn’t feel much like it.

“Unka toh ye tha ki ye apne pairon pe khada ho jaaye kuch karne lage. Unko belief nahin tha mere upar ki kuch karlega. But achcha laga unhe jab Kick dekhi unhone (My parents wanted me to be successful. They didn’t believe in me. However, my parents felt great when they watched Kick),” Nawazuddin said.

Earlier in June this year, in an exclusive house tour video with Pinkvilla, Nawazuddin spoke about his struggling days, the Gangs of Wasseypur actor shared that he has no complaints about life. The 50-year-old star further expressed that he enjoyed the struggling phase of his life too as he used to live with many like-minded people.

For the uninitiated, Nawazuddin Siddiqui began his acting journey in Bollywood with the 1999 film, Sarfarosh, which starred Aamir Khan in the lead role. They later worked in Talaash: The Answer Lies Within. Nawazuddin also appeared in Aamir’s co-production venture, Peepli Live in 2010.

Coming back to Kick, the Sajid Nadiadwala directorial also starred Jacqueline Fernandez and Randeep Hooda. The makers recently announced Kick 2, the sequel to the 2014 film.

Al Pacino recalled having a near-death experience due to an excessive COVID infection that he caught at the time of the pandemic. In conversation with The New York Times, the veteran actor looked back at the chaotic situation that was created while he lied in his living room with no pulse.

The Hollywood star claimed that the doctors and the nurses were constantly trying to revive the actor while his family members were present besides him.

The Godfather actor mentioned to the media outlet that he was given steroids in 2020 after being detected positive for the Corona virus. The decrease in his pulse rate was a side effect of the medications he was consuming. 

The actor explained, “It was so—you’re here, you’re not. I thought, Wow, you don’t even have your memories. You have nothing. Strange porridge.”

He further added, “What happened was, I felt not good—unusual not good. Then I had a fever, and I was getting dehydrated and all that. So I got someone to get me a nurse to hydrate me. I was sitting there in my house, and I was gone. Like that. I didn’t have a pulse. In a matter of minutes, they were there—the ambulance in front of my house.”

Chase Stokes, popularly known to play the role of John B in the Outer Banks series, reveals to have turned down the offer to “bro workout” alongside Chris Hemsworth and Arnold Schwarzenneger. During his appearance on The Tonight Show, Stokes mentioned that when he was staying in a Brazil hotel for a Netflix event and hit the gym, he bumped into the Marvel star and Schwarzenneger, who were working out. As they spotted the young actor, Hemsworth offered him to workout together. 

As the actor shared the incident with Jimmy Fallon, the talk show host joked, “That’s too much man for me.” Stokes went on to add that the two actors were “just having a bro workout in Brazil, just doing dude things. So I kind of look over and Chris is like, ‘Hey, man, want to join in?’ And I’m like, ‘No, no. I’m so good. I’m just gonna go do some yoga and a little mindful breathing. I’m going to hit the treadmill, actually.’ I sprinted out.”

Meanwhile, the actor is set to star in the fourth season of the Netflix series, where John B. and his gang return for new adventures and search for treasures.
