John Cena's Instagram account is an interesting one. He posts random images on the photo-sharing app, and does not provide captions. His fans are free to interpret the images as they like.
So when the professional wrestler posted online an image of Shah Rukh Khan, a lot of his Indian fans were quick to say that Cena was smitten by the Bollywood heartthrob.
Cena's recent post has a picture of SRK with the message "It's not necessary that the world will accept your creativity but don't give up on it" superimposed.
Interestingly, this wasn't the first time Khan has made his way to Cena's account as back in January, Cena had posted another picture of the Bollywood actor.
Cena apparently became a fan of the actor after stumbling across Khan's TED talks. In December, Cena took to Twitter to post a link to an article regarding Khan's talk.
"This was randomly put up in a small article by @theCHIVE very glad i stumbled across it https://ted.com/talks/shah_rukh_khan_thoughts_on_humanity_fame_and_love?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tedspread--a … via @TEDTalks," tweeted the WWE star.
Khan replied back writing, "thx for taking out time to ‘See’ it. Wish I can ‘See u’ someday. Love & health to u my man," to which Cena replied: "You as well sir. Your perspective on life is one I strive to attain, that, and being visible of course. #Cyberspaceghost."
Khan is not the first Indian celebrity to be featured in Cena's instagram. Bollywood actors Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and cricketers Kapil Dev, Rahul Dravid have also had mentions.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
