Siddharth stunner on why he did not become a big star. Siddharth is known for his frank and bold statements and often this lands him in various controversies. Siddharth talking at the Hyderabad Literary Festival spoke about various things.
He said I used to get scripts where I’m slapping women doing item songs pinching somebody navel telling a woman what she should do where she should go. And if those films had great scripts they would have made great successful films. I just rejected them. I might be a far bigger movie star today if I was differently wired. I instinctively did what I liked.
He added Today people tell me you were respectful to women you were good to parents you were good with kids you looked cute And their kids watch my films from 15 years ago. Its such a gratifying feeling its not something that can be measured in crores. Everyone around me was trying to be aggressive and macho. They are all mard ko dard nahi hota (men dont feel pain) kind of thing and I was happy to cry on screen.
