So, you are doing Karan’s movie.’ I used to be very quiet as a result of it was my first informal interplay with a star, I’m a fan of. As the evening went on, there have been sure conversations throughout which he was like, ‘I’m not likely certain. Let’s see. I wish to see what you’re all about,’ Sidharth stated, hinting that Salman thought he’s not lower out for Bollywood. Sidharth revealed that Salman suggested him to attempt his luck on tv.

However, Sidharth took the feedback positively. He stated as a substitute of getting offended, he thought of how Salman Khan observed him and made a degree to share his feedback on him. “It did not affect my confidence. I did tell him this conversation later on,” Siddharth smiled. He shared that after that social gathering, he met Salman throughout the promotions of Student of The Year. The crew had visited the units of Bigg Boss. Salman, who remembered his dialog with Sidharth, claimed that every one his feedback on the actor have been made to push him to do higher.
