Sidharth spent some time with Richie McCaw, the former All Blacks captain who he's absolutely in awe of!
Very few people might know this, but Sidharth is an avid follower of rugby and a big fan of Richie McCaw, the former All Blacks captain. The actor had his major fan moment when he got a chance to spend some time with the greatest rugby player that the world has seen.
Since retiring from rugby Richie followed his other passion, flying, and is now a helicopter pilot with Christchurch Helicopters. Richie treated Sidharth to an afternoon of adventure in his heli and we hear they spent quality time and chatted about rugby, Bollywood, cricket and other adventures that New Zealand has to offer. A day spent well, we say as we see the pictures of them playing a friendly rugby game together.
Dreams did come true for Sidharth, indeed. He shared his happiness by stating, “First meeting Stephen Fleming, the great former New Zealand cricket captain and now I have met Richie McCaw, the best rugby player ever, can this get any better? I feel like the luckiest guy.”
Scenic Flight with Richie McCaw:
Richie McCaw is arguably the greatest rugby player the game has ever seen. He played the most games for the All Blacks and captained them to two Rugby World Cup victories.
After his retirement in 2015 Richie McCaw followed his other passion, flying, and is now a pilot with Christchurch Helicopters.
Richie McCaw played 148 games for the All Blacks from 2001-2015.
During Sidharth’s first visit to New Zealand Prime Minister John Key gifted him an All Blacks jersey.
Christchurch Helicopters offer a range of scenic flights from winery focused visits, to flying across local rivers and landing upon mountain tops. You can enjoy beautiful cuisine by landing lakeside at top lunch spots.
Richie McCaw has said his favourite things to do is head to the high country and get the barbecue out with his mates, which is exactly what he treated Sidharth to when they met.
