“For years, standing in long queues and attending endless auditions, the dream of becoming a Bollywood hero had pretty much died for me. I only wanted to focus on my craft but I had never anticipated that level of recognition. I was just numb.”
With his easy, unassuming presence on-screen, Siddhant Chaturvedi is a breath of fresh air. But don’t take it all at face value… The confidence with which Siddhant carries himself and essays complicated characters has been built on years of struggles, battling obstacles, and, most importantly, discovering the power that resides within himself. A journey not easy, but one that the actor can truly be proud of.
“I was not]. I think people pushed me down so much that I had to get up and find myself. In a way, my bullies made me realise my worth, and motivated me to push myself in areas where I needed to prove myself.”
