New Delhi: Hindi cinema gossip mills are always abuzz with rumours of his relationship with Alia Bhatt, but Sidharth Malhotra has always chosen to keep mum. The actor says he prefers to be guarded about his personal life and lets his work do the talking.
Asked why he is so guarded about his personal life, Sidharth said in an email interview: “I am here for my work and my work speaks to my audience. At home, I am a private person and I like keeping it that way, may be that is why I come out as being guarded about my personal life.”
The “Ek Villain” star, who has no god father in Hindi cinema industry, started his career as an assistant director in Karan Johar’s 2010 film “My Name Is Khan”. As an actor, the former model made his debut with the 2012 film “Student Of The Year”, which also starred Alia.
Asked coming from a non-Bollywood background, how difficult is it for an actor to survive in showbiz, where there is cut-throat competition everyday?
“Since I started my career in Hindi cinema industry as an assistant director, I had the knowledge about how films are made and the kind of efforts that go into making one. The past four years in the industry have been spectacular,” Sidharth said.
Appreciation motivates him to work harder, he added. The 31-year-old, in his four-year journey in tinsel town, has worked in films like “Hasee Toh Phasee”, “Ek Villain”, “Brothers” and “Kapoor & Sons”. IANS
