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.

Ella Purnell opens up on the title of Scream Queen given to her in the Hollywood industry, following her breakout role as Lucy in the drama series Fallout.

In conversation with The Guardian, the actress candidly shared her thoughts over the special title given to her, claiming that she didn’t understand where the talks began, as she is even scared of picking up horror as a genre in films or other projects. Further in the talks, the actress opened up about accidentally stepping into the field of acting after not at all planning to be an actress. 

While sitting down for an interview with the media outlet, the Yellow Jackets star mentioned that she isn’t a big fan of the sci-fi genre either. Elaborating on the statements, the actress said, “I can’t do horror films. I don’t really love watching too much gore or any supernatural things. I’m not even really a big sci-fi person. And I’m not a gamer. So I don’t know how any of this has happened!”

Purnell further stated on her journey in the Hollywood industry and overcoming her imposter syndrome. She said, “I never really planned on becoming an actor. I feel a lot of guilt and impostor syndrome attached to that statement, because I know a lot of people have wanted to be an actor ever since they were kids. And that just wasn’t me.”

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.”
