In a recent podcast interview with Rajeev Masand and Anupama Chopra, Sidharth Malhotra shared that he can never stop being a fanboy when it comes to Bollywood icons Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan.
Sidharth
Malhotra
made
a
smashing
debut
in
Karan
Johar's
Student
Of
The
Year
in
2012.
But
before
that,
the
handsome
actor
worked
as
an
assistant
director
on
the
sets
of
My
Name
Is
Khan
which
starred
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Kajol
in
lead
roles.
In
a
recent
podcast
interview
with
Rajeev
Masand
and
Anupama
Chopra,
Sidharth
Malhotra
shared
that
he
can
never
stop
being
a
fanboy
when
it
comes
to
Bollywood
icons
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Shahrukh
Khan
because
of
the
"brilliant" and
"inspiring"
portfolio
of
work
they
have
done.
The
actor
even
recalled
his
first
meeting
with
King
Khan
on
the
sets
of
My
Name
Is
Khan-
Sidharth
Was
'Nervous'
&
'Scared'
To
Walk
Up
To
SRK
&
Speak
To
Him
Sidharth
shared,
"First
thing
I
said
to
Shah
Rukh
was
on
the
sets
of
My
Name
is
Khan...
I
was
very
scared,
I
was
very
nervous
to
even
walk
up
to
him
and
chat.
I
think
the
first
thing
I
said
was
'Sir,
aap
biscuit
khayenge?'.
He
was
waiting
for
this
shot
and
we
were
in
Los
Angeles
and
I
was
the
AD
with
the
walkie
in
my
ear
waiting
for
him
to
tell
when
to
go
for
that
shot."
'I
Said,
Sir
Aap
Biscuit
Khayenge'
"We
both
were
waiting
and
there
was
an
awkward
moment,
no
clue
this
big
star
is
next
to
you.
I
said,
'Sir
aap
biscuit
khayenge?'
He
looked
at
me,
smiled
and
said
‘Nahi
nahi'.
He
eventually
realised
I
wanted
to
be
an
actor
and
started
talking
to
me
about
different
things," recalled
the
actor
in
the
podcast.
SRK
Inspired
Him
To
Become
An
Actor
"Well,
it
starts
from
him
being
from
Delhi.
All
Delhi
boys
want
to
be
heroes
and
Shahrukh
Khan
is
a
major
reason
for
that.
I
used
to
find
him
really
funny
and
I
still
do.
I
think
Shahrukh
is
extremely
good
with
comedy
in
the
sense
that
a
hero
can
do."
His
Crazy
For
SRK
Sidharth
also
revealed
that
he
had
a
hair
parting
like
SRK
like
a
"pure
commercial
Hindi
film
fan".
Sidharth
Never
Thought
He
Would
Become
An
Actor
Someday
"I
didn't
know
what
it
takes
to
go
on
the
other
side
and
be
in
that
screen.
But
I
think
there
was
so
much
admiration
and
so
much
concentration
when
I
used
to
watch
his
scenes...
I
think
there
is
a
big
impression
of
Shahrukh
Khan
and
his
cinema
on
me,"
added
Sidharth.
Speaking
about
his
fanboy
moment
with
Amitabh
Bachchan
when
he
first
met
him
on
the
sets
of
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
during
Student
of
the
Year
promotions,
Sidharth
narrated,
"We
met
him
backstage
and
he
was
very
sweet
to
me.
He
shook
my
hand
and
patted
me
on
the
back.
I
am
still
a
big
Bachchan
fan,
even
when
I
meet
him
now
and
have
an
immense
amount
of
love
for
him.
That
fanboy
in
me
for
Shah
Rukh
or
Bachchan
will
never
die.
They
have
done
such
brilliant
work
to
inspire
all
of
us."
