Navjot Singh Sidhu returned to the spotlight with The Great Indian Kapil Show a few months back. After wrapping the comedy talk show, Navojt is all set to be seen as a judge on India's Got Talent. Recently, in an interview with Navbharat Times, Sidhu showered praise on Kapil Sharma and said how the actor-comedian shone with his talent. Sidhu even recalled his meeting with George Bush. Talking about his life struggles, Navjot Singh Sindhu said, "Following your passion isn't easy. Neither your parents nor society appreciates it. Parents tell you to become a doctor or an engineer. They stifle your aspirations and force you to study. Meanwhile, society is constantly trying to belittle you. So, you have to overcome the hurdle; the biggest disease in the world is what people will say. Furthermore, talent needs a platform. Talent without opportunity is meaningless. For example, Kapil Sharma used to work two days a week at Bhullar's theatre society for Rs 100. Then, when he first appeared on TV in 2006, he had no hair, a potbelly, and looked like a 45-year-old. But when he performed on a bigger platform, his talent shone. In the IPL, people also become stars overnight because they get a bigger platform."

In fact, his quotes have been termed as Sidhuism by fans, and this tag also seemed to fascinate former US president George Bush. Recalling how Bush wanted to meet him after learning about Sidhuism, Navjot Singh Sidhu shared, "When I was in the BJP, Sardar Manmohan Singh invited me to dinner. His PA called and told me that George Bush was coming and asked what Sidhuism was. He was told that whatever this man says becomes Sidhuism. So he said, 'I want to meet him.' When I went, he asked me to quote a quote on positivity. I said, 'Keep your face towards the sun so you never have to see your shadow.' He laughed, but I didn't plan these things. I just speak from the heart, and people connect with it." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sony Entertainment Television (@sonytvofficial) Navjot Singh Sidhu took a sabbatical in 2023. He also declared an active break from politics following his wife's cancer diagnosis. In 2025, Sidhu launched his YouTube channel in April. He also reappeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix India. Taking on judge duties on India's Got Talent's latest season also marks Sidhu's comeback on Indian television. Malaika Arora and Shaan are also seen alongside Sidhu on the show. India's Got Talent airs on Sony TV every Saturday-Sunday at 9:30 pm.
