In an interview with Movie ShilmySiddhant emphasized the need to keep real life separate from reel life. He said: “This is where the training comes in. You switch on, you switch off. You don’t bring that psyche home with you. You don’t bring that into your personal life with your friends and family. That’s when actors become psychotic. As professionals, it can be very tempting to choose dark. As someone who comes from outside, where don’t I get so many opportunities, every chance I get I want to make the most of it.”
The actor, who also took on the role of a harmful and controlling husband Made in heaven season 2, further said: “It is very normal that I want to give my 175% to it and within that it can also make me very unhealthy. But that’s where twenty years of training has come in for me to help me cut myself off from Varun’s psyche, or even Anik’s. Made in heaven.”
