'Fame Is Short-Lived; I Don't Want To Fake It'- Sidharth Malhotra Gets Candid!
In a chat with a leading daily, Sid opened up about why doesn't want stardom to enter his head and much more.
Sidharth Malhotra's last outing 'Baar Baar Dekho' may not have found many takers at the box office but that hasn't lessened his fan-following a bit. The young lad who made a smashing debut with Karan Johar's 'Student Of The Year' along with Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt says that his mind like a pendulum, is constantly swinging between the Delhi boy who dreamt big and the Bollywood actor who is delighted to have arrived but always expected to be in character.
In an recent chat with Mumbai Mirror, Sid spoke about fame, his equation with Shakun Batra and much more. Read on to know more-
1. I Never Want Stardom To Go In My Head
The actor was quoted saying, "It's the pressure of performing when the cameras are turned off that bothers me. Fame is short-lived and I don't want to fake it," he sighs. "I have lived 25 years of my life doing fun things but now if I spend time with close friend or even family, it is up for conversation.I understand it's the nature of my job, but I'm still that Delhi boy who doesn't want everything he does to get published because he believes he's big sh*t. That's a terrible space to be in and I never want stardom to go to my head. So I go from Delhi boy to Bollywood actor over and over in my head."
2. Everything Makes Me Feel Fortunate
Sid admitted that his approach to doing films is also different from his contemporaries' because of his "outsider status". Things like how much more money he's earning than competition is a non-issue. He further added, "Everything makes me feel fortunate."
He even spoke that he will start shooting for the remake of Yash Chopra's 1969 murder mystery, Ittefaq, in the first week of February adding, "Dharma Productions and Red Chillies Entertainment are coming together and that makes it a film with a lot of metal. You can expect something different and special."
3. I And Shakun Batra Understand Each Other's Camera Language
Buzz is, Shakun Batra is writing a script with him and Alia in mind. When Sid was asked about it he said, "It's hardly been a year since Kapoor & Sons released and keeping aside the rumours, I'd like to say that Shakun and I are connected because we're both from Delhi and started off as assistant directors. We understand each other's camera language and it will be great to work in another feature with him, whenever it happens."
4. An Actor Who Doesn't Contradict Himself Over The Years, Is An Actor Who Has Not Grown At All
Sid even added that that seven years ago if someone had told him to take off his shirt and dance, he wouldn't have done it. He said, "On the Dream Tour, I was dancing bare-chested in a stadium packed with fans. An actor who doesn't contradict himself over the years, is an actor who has not grown at all."
Well, we couldn't agree more on this, boy!
Talking about films, Sidharth will be next seen in 'Reloaded' opposite Jacqueline Fernandez.
