Sidharth Malhotra Is ‘Guilty of Being Majnu’ Amid Kiara Advani Wedding Rumours, Says ‘If Love…
At an event for his upcoming release Mission Majnu, actor Sidharth Malhotra went on to state that he feels ‘lucky’ for having had the opportunity to romance ‘so many women onscreen’. Well, it’s no secret that he has been part of some of the most memorable onscreen love stories of recent times. His pairing with actor Alia Bhatt in their debut film Student Of The Year (2012) had everyone rooting for the duo. In the romantic comedy Hasee Toh Phasee (2014), Sidharth’s endearing but palpable chemistry with co-star Parineeti Chopra impressed many and it continues to make it in the cinema-related pages. Ek Villain (2014) might have been a gritty action thriller but Guru’s intense romantic dynamic with actor Shraddha Kapoor’s Aisha formed the heart of the film.
But one of the most iconic love stories of the modern era remains Shershaah (2021), where Sidharth shared screen space with actor Kiara Advani, his alleged real-life lady love. The couple played Captain Vikram Batra and his fiancée Dimple Cheema. While it shed light on the sacrifices that the late Indian Army officer made for his country at the Kargil War, the biographical film was largely driven by the unconditional love shared by the protagonists, which left many in awe.
In Mission Manju, he plays an Indian spy, who goes to Pakistan to unearth a confidential nuclear program and in the process, falls in love and marries a blind girl, essayed by actor Rashmika Mandanna. And now, in an exclusive interaction with News18, Sidharth talks about his fascination for love stories.
He shares, “I mean, what’s the point of doing all these things if love doesn’t drive you? If you’re innately passionate, it will trickle down to everything that you do. If a man and a woman are passionate, it will trickle down to every aspect of their lives. If they’re passionate about work, it will seep into their love lives and vice versa.” The actor, who is currently shooting for filmmaker Rohit Shett’s Indian Police Force, adds, “All these heroic characters become more likeable, relatable and human when they go through a dilemma in their personal lives pertaining to what they want to prioritise more.”
