Navjot Singh Sidhu is back in the spotlight! The former cricketer, politician, and television personality has returned as a judge on India’s Got Talent (Sony TV, Sat-Sun, 9:30 PM), following his recent appearance on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show.

In an exclusive chat with Navbharat Times, Sidhu opened up about societal pressures, personal struggles, and the importance of opportunity in shaping talent. He recalled comedian Kapil Sharma’s early days, saying,

“When Kapil first appeared on TV in 2006, he had no hair, a potbelly, and looked like a 45-year-old. But once he got the right platform, his talent shone.”

Sidhu stressed that talent without exposure often goes unnoticed, drawing parallels with cricket’s IPL stars who rise quickly once they get a stage. – Navjot Singh Sidhu Recalls Kapil Sharma

The colorful personality, famous for his witty quips known as “Sidhuism”, also shared an anecdote about meeting former U.S. President George W. Bush during his political career, showcasing his charm and quick wit.

With his unique energy and larger-than-life personality, Sidhu is proving once again why he remains a fan favorite across generations.
