Excerpts from the conversation

On Shah Rukh Khan

SRK and Siddhant

He is my biggest inspiration, and every boy used to look up to him. He was an outsider and he did it. However, I wasn't very vocal about this to my parents that I wanted to be an actor.

He also opened up about the entire Ananya Pandey fiasco that the internet blew it out of proportion.

On nepotism

So I was the last one to speak nepotism and I just concluded so it was a conclusive statement. If you actually think about that line, it only implies the start-point and endpoint of the struggle. I guess the internet made a thing out of it. They made memes and edited it to make it look like I've got a thug life. But it was not meant to be taken like that.

For the unversed, Ananya had said in an interview that she had always wanted to be an actor and that just because her father is an actor she won't turn down offers because of that. She had further said,"My dad has never been in a Dharma film, he never went on 'Koffee With Karan'. So, it's not as easy as people say. Everyone has their own journey and their own struggle."

On the work front, Siddhant will be seen with Deepika Padukone in an untitled film.
