Sidharth Malhotra recalls 'crazy fan' sending him a pillow with 'strands of her hair on it'

Actor Sidharth Malhotra, recalled his 'craziest fan' experience, said that a woman once sent him her pillow, which had strands of her hair on it. Sidharth will next be seen in the war drama Shershaah, based on the life of Captain Vikram Batra.

Answering some of the 'most googled questions' about himself, Sidharth Malhotra recalled the incident in a new video shared by Mashable India.

Asked to describe his 'craziest fan', Sidharth said, "A couple of years ago, in my initial years, maybe 3-5 years ago, I was gifted a big box from a fan, which had a nice pillow inside. And there was a card which read, 'this is the pillow that I sleep on every night'. And just to prove that there were also strands of hair on it. 'Please use this pillow, it'll be like we're sleeping on the same bed'."

Sidharth has had his share of intense fan encounters. In 2013, a psychology student named Reshma got a star registered in the actor’s name. “It’s a very sweet thing to do. She got the star named after me and also sent me the certificate. In fact, the certificate has the star’s coordinates too, so if I ever want to see the star, I can take out a telescope and do it. She also sent me a long letter saying how much she loved SOTY," he had told Hindustan Times.

In 2018, a fan barged into his building in Mumbai and refused to go away. She later turned up at his management team's office.
