Sidharth Malhotra is gearing up for the release of Thank God.
Sidharth Malhotra also talks about his debut movie, Student of the Year and says that such a ‘massive launch’ was a ‘big milestone’ for him.
From Student of the Year (2012) to his upcoming release Thank God, Sidharth Malhotra has come a long way in Bollywood. However, it was not easy for the Shershaah actor to be where he is today. In a recent interview, Sidharth opened up about his struggling days and revealed how his family never used to take him seriously when he decided to become an actor. He explained that was primarily because he was not open about his acting plans when he was a child and started facing cameras only in his late teens.
“Oh no not at all I think for me it was very daunting to be on such a massive set in the first place. It’s like a very far-fetched dream to stay in New Delhi and believe in a service background household, a middle-class household to believe that you become an actor and be on the big screen. My family never used to take me seriously. Because it was not something I was open about it as I was a kid. I wasn’t like there. It was only in my late teens I started facing still cameras and all and then that whole thing. People started seeing different aspects,” he told Pinkvilla.
The 37-year-old actor also talked about his debut movie, Student of the Year and shared that such a ‘massive launch’ was a ‘big milestone’ for him. “For me being on that first film, you know getting such a massive launch is a big milestone in my life. Now when I look back at 10 years okay great I thought that was the difficult part to get in there. But then I realise the struggles one has to be or go through to sustain themselves. It’s a big task to entertain this country and be in this business,” he added.
