Siddharth, who is currently gearing up to release his upcoming Tamil film ‘Takkar,’ found himself in an uncomfortable interaction with a journalist. The actor was in Hyderabad for the promotions of the Telugu-dubbed version of the movie recently. As part of a media interaction, a reporter asked him about his love life amid speculations that he’s dating Aditi Rao Hydari.
The reporter told Siddharth that he’s quite popular for his love stories in films. However, he’s been not so successful, when it comes to real-life romance. Sid, however, took it in stride and responded, “I’ve personally never thought about this even once, not even in my dreams. Even when I see my face in the mirror. But since you are really concerned about my love life, both of us can talk about it in private. Others have nothing to do with it, and it has nothing to do with the Takkar movie as well.”
His response garnered much positive attention, with many even calling out the reporter for their “cringeworthy” question. One Twitter user wrote, “Literally every time I see something with him, I start to cringe and feel disgust. There is a limit to asking someone questions like that on a public platform. He thinks he has this 'chanuvu (closeness)' with all those actors, but it’s gone to a point, where it’s just beyond ridiculous.”
Another person said, “I think he (the aforementioned reporter) should not be called for the press meets and media interactions. Everyone are feeling discomfort for his questions. Not because they can't answer but he is asking their personals or irrelevant questions.”
Both Siddharth and Aditi have been seen together in recent months, including the April 2023 screening of her latest project ‘Jubilee.’ However, they have not confirmed they are dating, even though they share pictures and videos of each other regularly.
Directed by Karthik G Krish, ‘Takkar’ stars Siddharth as the son of a local rowdy wanting to make money in life the easy way. The film is gearing up for release this month.
