Sidharth Malhotra Biography

Sidharth Malhotra was born and raised in Delhi, India into a Punjabi Hindu family, to Sunil, a former captain in the Merchant Navy, and Rimma Malhotra, a homemaker. At the age of 18, he began modelling. Although he was successful, he decided to quit after four years because he was dissatisfied with the profession.

Sidharth, interested in pursuing an acting career, successfully auditioned for a film to be directed by Anubhav Sinha. However, the film was shelved, following which he worked as an assistant director to Karan Johar on the 2010 film My Name Is Khan.

Eventually, in 2012, he made his acting debut with Karan Johar’s teen drama Student of the Year alongside co-debutantes Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. The film was a financial success, grossing Rs. 700 million (US$9.3 million) domestically. Following a year-long absence from the screen, similar to that of co-stars Bhatt and Dhawan, who had their second releases after him, Malhotra next starred opposite Parineeti Chopra and Adah Sharma in the 2014 romantic comedy Hasee Toh Phasee.
