Siddhant Chaturvedi refused to talk to his father about Gehraiyaan: ‘Lihaaz kuch hota hai’

Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi has uncovered that he refused to talk to his dad Laxman Chaturvedi about his last movie Gehraiyaan. The romantic drama movie by Shakun Batra explored complex topics like mental health and illicit relationships and had a lot of intimate scenes between Siddhant and Deepika Padukone. The actor, who featured in the film alongside Deepika, Ananya Panday, and Dhairya Karwa, said he did not feel comfortable discussing it with his father.

He recalled on Social Media Star With Janice, “My father came to my room saying that I want to talk about this film. I told him no need and that I am going to sleep. Ye koi baat hai baap bete ke beech mein karne waali (Is this a topic that should be discussed between a father and a son). I haven’t talked to him about it even today.” When asked why did he avoid the conversation, Siddhant said, “Are kuch hai matlab lihaaz kuch hota hai na, kuch daayre hote hain matlab (There are some things like respect and boundaries). Being as an actor you have to do all kinds of roles.”

The actor recalled that his dad had spotted the talent of dancing in him and would push him to perform at all the family functions. He said, “I was a shy kid, but then I started enjoying it when people would watch me in awe.”
