Siddhant Chaturvedi Opens Up on Love, Struggles & Getting Blacklisted | Karishma Mehta | Ep 91
“Meri koi Gucci - Prada waali journey nahi rahi hai! It’s true – jahan humare sapne pure hote hai, wahan unka struggle shuru hota hai… The starting points are different. But you know, we both struggle—while we struggle to get our first break, they struggle to get acceptance.”
Meet the outsider with an ‘Inside Edge’ who is now making heads turn in every ‘Gully’ – Siddhant Chaturvedi. His journey to success wasn’t easy—there were endless auditions, rejections and heartbreaks. But then, he got his big break with Gully Boy. Even actors like Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt couldn’t overshadow him… Years of waiting finally paid off!
In this episode, he gets as candid as ever and shares his journey with us. Right from being an outsider, to working alongside the biggies of Bollywood to his famous ‘struggle’ line, he shared it all.
