Siddharth
Nigam
became
a
household
name
with
his
show
Ashoka.
He
is
currently
seen
in
Aladdin:
Naam
Toh
Suna
Hoga,
which
will
soon
go
off
air.
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.
