Recently, in an interview with ETimes TV, the actor revealed how Salman Khan helped him get salary hike during his stint in period drama Ashoka. He also revealed Salman had advised him to involve gymnastics in his acting.
Siddharth
was
quoted
by
ETimes
TV
as
saying,
"I
shared
a
good
bonding
with
Salman
Sir
when
I
was
shooting
for
Ashoka
in
Karjat
and
he
was
shooting
for
Sultan
and
another
film.
I
would
workout
in
his
gym
and
also
had
dinner
with
him.
We
would
workout
together.
Salman
sir
had
asked
me
about
my
per
day
salary
once
when
I
was
working
on
Ashoka
and
he
was
really
shocked
after
hearing
it.
Since
my
per
day
was
very
low
at
that
time,
he
called
up
someone
and
told
that
person
how
low
I
was
being
paid.
And
after
he
spoke
about
it
and
there
was
a
boom
in
my
per
day
after
a
year
of
being
on
Ashoka."
He further added, "Salman sir has given me very good advice that you are a gymnast, your body is flexible. He said you look like John Travolta, so I searched for him. I thanked him. He said involve your gymnastics in your acting. If I add a flip in my scene while delivering a dialogue then people will notice me. So, I have added such things in my role for Aladdin too."
The Aladdin actor revealed that he learnt Parkour by watching YouTube videos. He said that he was a very bad dancer, but I have improved a lot. He also revealed that while doing the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa, he used to rehearse for 18 hours at a stretch to get the perfect moves and also added his gymnastics into it and which is how people know him as an action actor.
