Earlier this year, Sidhant Chaturvedi’s reply to Ananya Pandey on nepotism in a roundtable interview became a viral sensation. During the panel, Ananya shared her definition of struggle and take on nepotism saying, “I have always wanted to be an actor. Just because my dad has been an actor, I will never say no to an opportunity to act. My dad has never been in a Dharma film, he never went on ‘Koffee With Karan’. So it’s not as easy as people say. Everyone has their own journey and their own struggle.” Ananya was brutally trolled on social media for her statement.
At that moment Siddhant gave a reply which went viral on social media. He said, “Jahaa humarey sapne poore hote hai, waha inka struggle shuru hota hai.”
The Gully Boy actor Siddhant Chaturvedi has finally opened up on his nepotism remark, which many perceived as a snide towards actor Ananya Pandey. He said, “It was just a topic of nepotism and I was the last one to speak. It so happened that she spoke before me. And I just concluded so it was a conclusive statement. If you actually think about that line, it only implies the start point and end point of the struggle. I guess, internet made a thing out of it. They made memes and edited it to make it look like I’ve got a thug life. But it was not meant to be taken like that.”
