Siddhant Chaturvedi whose film Bunty Aur Babli 2 with Rani Mukerji, Saif Ali Khan, Sharvari Wagh, Pankaj Tripathi and others hits the theatres today speaks to mid-day.com about making a mark in the film industry, memories of the original and what keeps him busy outside work.
Before you landed your big break Inside Edge, followed by Gully Boy what was it that kept you going towards achieving your dreams?
Even before my first break there was something where I knew I wanted this bad! I would always entertain people as a kid, at parties and everywhere else and I had this belief that I could make it. Nobody could convince me I can’t! Of course there was no way to get in because of my background but you have to keep trying till people notice you. I did ads and web shows and then I got Gully Boy as supporting actor. Adi (Chopra) sir saw something in me and said, ‘Tu toh hero hai.’ He gave me Bunty Aur Babli 2 and to not give up is something I learnt, karna hai to karna hai ek hi life hai.
