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?'.

"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.

"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."

"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."
