Sidharth
Malhotra
Flunked
Class
9
Due
To
Girls
Sidharth
confirmed
that
he
had
actually
flunked
Class
9
and
revealing
the
reason,
he
said,
"Yes,
my
attention
was
diverted
by
girls.
But
this
(the
failure)
turned
out
to
be
a
positive
thing
in
my
life
as
I
was
eventually
moved
to
a
co-ed
school
where
I
learned
better.
And
I
passed
my
10th
and
11th
grade
with
good
grades."
Meanwhile,
Parineeti
Would
Like
To
Kidnap
Saif
Ali
Khan
The
plot
of
'Jabariya
Jodi' revolves
around
'kidnapping
of
grooms'
to
avoid
dowry.
When
Sidharth
and
Parineeti
were
asked
who
they
would
kidnap
if
given
a
chance,
they
had
rather
interesting
responses.
Parineeti
Chopra
instantly
replied,
"Saif
Ali
Khan...
I
have
even
told
Kareena
Kapoor
how
much
I
admire
Saif."
On
the
other
hand,
Sid
said
he
would
kidnap
Saif-Kareena's
little
munchkin,
Taimur.
Speaking
About
The
Concept
Of
Jabariya
Jodi
Sidharth
had
earlier
said
in
a
TOI
interview,
"I
had
read
about
it
online
and
discovered
that
100-plus
FIRs
have
been
filed
so
far
in
groom-kidnapping
cases.
It's
true
that
to
avoid
dowry,
men
are
forced
to
get
married
at
gunpoint.
Our
writer
(Sanjeev
K
Jha)
and
director
(Prashant
Singh)
are
from
the
state
(Bihar),
so
they
have
taken
facts
and
fictionalized
them
to
make
an
entertaining
love
story.
It's
an
interesting
cocktail
and
I
was
drawn
to
this
endearing
character."
Why
Sidharth
Malhotra
Was
Cast
In
This
Film
"I
wanted
to
make
this
film
in
a
bigger
set-up
and
so
we
needed
big
stars.
It
was
the
producer
who
suggested
Sidharth's
name.
I
felt
we
should
explore
him
in
a
different
avatar.
He
loved
the
story
and
agreed
immediately.
He
wanted
to
do
something
new,
he
wanted
to
break
the
mould.
I
knew
I
could
surprise
people
with
Sidharth
and
we
started
working
on
getting
his
body
language,
diction
right.
He
has
really
worked
hard,"
director
Prashant
Singh
revealed
in
an
interview.
