India's Got Talent' is one of the biggest platforms for talent across the world.
— Siddharth Shukla
Since I have already connected with fans on TV, I don't fear losing out on my movie fans, even if I am away from the silver screen for a long time.
I am the last person on Earth who can be diplomatic. I say what I actually feel.
I don't have a type. I am more of a sapiosexual person. The girl has to be intelligent.
Web series are a way forward. It is a space where creative minds can express themselves without the fear of censor board.
The food in Mathura is authentic and delicious. Mathura is famous for its Chana Chidwa which was my cheat snack for the two days I spent there.
Trying times will begin when I will take up my second film as that's when people will take me more seriously. I will have to prove myself too.
My work will speak for me. In fact, I never had a PR and I still don't.
Of course, I'd love to do Bollywood.
I am really grateful to 'Balika Vadhu' for the recognition I have got because of it. People know me and like me because of it.
I love to dance, but the flip side is that I can't dance.
Reality shows make you more bold and you learn new skills like dancing, anchoring.
I am a morning person and the first task for me in the morning is to hit the gym.
To be honest, I am very comfortable with myself.
I feel you can be down and out but if you are determined, nothing can stop you from winning.
Acting is acting at the end of the day. How does it matter if it is in films or on TV?
My only problem, and this has been a constant worry on television, is time management. The deadlines on television are killing.
I have been a pampered boy, the youngest in the family with two elder sisters. I have always had someone around me, usually my mom, to take care of everything for me.
I don't think the audience for film or TV is different. I think they are the same people who go out on weekends.
I come from a school of thoughts where I actually don't plan anything.
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6' was the turning point in my career.
I want my future wife or girlfriend to be herself.
There was a time when I really wanted to do films, but they didn't come my way. I would come close and the next day suddenly I'd realise that I am not a part of the film anymore. So that's how television happened.
I have been tagged mischievous since childhood and was known as a prankster.
I can't take up every film that is being offered to me.
I feel blessed to be working with a banner like Dharma Productions.
But the whole viewership of 'Balika Vadhu' is more than all shows of mine put together. The show has a lot of reach and that has worked for me.
Television is growing. It is a huge market for great content.
When not shooting, I love to catch up on my sleep.
I enjoy coming to Ahmedabad. The city is really awesome and people here are warm and hospitable.
Link-ups go hand-in-hand with TV shows. You do a show and you get linked with your co-star.
What I look for in a girl is honesty.
TV is one of the biggest mediums, and over time, it will get bigger.
Humpty' was something I had to do. I had to stretch myself as an actor.
After my debut film, I was doing reality shows and hosting so it was not that I had nothing else to do.
I am only looking forward to good film script. It doesn't matter if the role is a supporting or a standalone role.
I was a very protected and confused kid till 24. It was after then, that I started taking my life seriously.
Televison is time bound. Whereas a movie has time. You can't write a script for television and keep it for one year.
hooting for ‘Savdhaan India' in Mathura made me realise that no matter what place you come from be it a holy city, crime still prevails.
Films are something that happened by chance.
I mean there's something I have achieved in life, even if it's little, and if people write about it, then it's fine.
Amitabh Bachchan's role in 'Deewar'… I'd love to do that if someone does a remake.
Balika Vadhu' is the best thing to have happened to me.
I am not a dancer and for me, to learn the art is fun. It gives you the confidence that you can dance.
I don't have any fears.
I have never decided on how to plan my career moves.
I don't have any issue with people seeing my real self.
In 'BV,' every actor's performance touches your heart. The team on the show is dedicated, which inspires me a lot.
I don't mind falling in love with an actress. I don't have any reservations.
I am not one of those actors who will abandon my flagship serial, my main claim to fame, just because I've done a hit movie.
