Talking to IANS, Siddhant made it clear that acting remains his primary focus. He spoke about his journey and what truly matters to him, “I have come to become an actor, I got that opportunity and here I am as an actor. That is the biggest thing for me.”Talking about fashion, Siddhant kept his perspective simple. He believes that style should not be forced, “Talking about fashion, it’s all just that is there in my films, I mean they make us wear good clothes,”Chaturvedi further shared his philosophy on being fashionable”I think the most fashionable person is the one who doesn’t think too much, and is a little unserious and chill. Ultimately, one’s swag comes out automatically when you see the personality. If you think too much, then you are trying to blend in too much, I feel,”
Siddhant Chaturvedi on the work front
Siddhant Chaturvedi made his Bollywood debut with Ranveer Singh‘s ‘Gully Boy’ in 2019 and later appeared in films like ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ and ‘Phone Bhoot’. Most recently, he was seen in Do Deewane Sheher Mein with Mrunal Thakur. The film received a 3.5-star rating from ETimes.The review noted, “Mrunal Thakur and Siddhant Chaturvedi slip into their characters’ vulnerabilities with ease. However, their distinctly urbane, polished, and fashion-forward appearances slightly dilute the relatability and empathy their roles demand. The screenplay unfolds at a leisurely pace, and conflicts are so understated and routine that they may feel alien to audiences used to high-octane Hindi film drama.
Yet, if one embraces the slow burn, the narrative settles into a grounded slice-of-life rhythm.”
