Actor
Sidharth
Malhotra
is
often
in
limelight
owing
to
his
alleged
affair
with
Alia
Bhatt
but
the
actor
has
always
chosen
to
keep
mum.
Asked
why
he
is
so
guarded
about
his
personal
life,
here's
what
Sidharth
told
IANS
in
an
email
interview:
"I
am
here
for
my
work
and
my
work
speaks
to
my
audience.
At
home,
I
am
a
private
person
and
I
like
keeping
it
that
way,
may
be
that
is
why
I
come
out
as
being
guarded
about
my
personal
life."
The
Ek
Villain
star,
who
has
no
Bollywood
connection,
started
his
career
as
an
assistant
director
in
Karan
Johar's
2010
film
My
Name
Is
Khan.
As
an
actor,
the
former
model
made
his
debut
with
the
2012
film
Student
Of
The
Year,
which
also
starred
Alia.
Coming
from
a
non-Bollywood
background,
how
difficult
is
it
for
an
actor
to
survive
in
showbiz,
where
there
is
cut-throat
competition
everyday?
"Since
I
started
my
career
in
Bollywood
as
an
assistant
director,
I
had
the
knowledge
about
how
films
are
made
and
the
kind
of
efforts
that
go
into
making
one.
The
past
four
years
in
the
industry
have
been
spectacular," Sidharth
said.
Sidharth
is
now
gearing
up
for
his
upcoming
film
Baar
Baar
Dekho
directed
by
Nitya
Mehra,
which
also
stars
actress
Katrina
Kaif.
