Why Sidharth Malhotra Doesn’t Need PR
Sidharth has always been known for being humble and down-to-earth despite being one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywood. He has never indulged in any lavish lifestyle or extravagant spending habits that are often associated with celebrities. He lives a simple life away from the limelight and prefers spending time with his family and friends.
Sidharth Malhotra has also never been interested in creating an aura or image around himself that would attract attention or admiration from others. He believes that acting is his passion and he wants to be judged by his work rather than by his looks or popularity.
In an exclusive interview with The Times, Malhotra revealed how he started his career without relying on PR or endorsements to create an aura around himself.
“I always wanted my work to speak for itself,” he said. “I never cared about what people thought about me or how they perceived me. I just wanted to do good work that would make people happy.”
He added that he never followed any trends or fads that were popular among other actors at that time. He always chose scripts that suited him best according to their genre or theme rather than their box office potential or star value.
“I never did anything just because it was popular or trendy,” he said.
