Siddhant Chaturvedi on dealing with fashion pressure: Have come here to become an actor

Bollywood actor Siddhant Chaturvedi says his primary focus is acting, not fashion pressure. He shares his style philosophy at Lakme Fashion Week.

"I have come to become an actor, I got that opportunity and here I am as an actor. That is the biggest thing for me. - Siddhant Chaturvedi"

Mumbai, March 25

Bollywood actor Siddhant Chaturvedi has opened up on the pressure to keep up with the fashion game, considering the current social media boom and constant scrutiny.

Talking to IANS at the recent Lakme Fashion Week, the actor said that he does not feel the pressure of keeping his fashion game on point, stressing that his primary focus has always been acting.

"I have come to become an actor, I got that opportunity and here I am as an actor. That is the biggest thing for me," said Siddhant.

"Talking about fashion, it's all just that is there in my films, I mean they make us wear good clothes," he added.

The actor further stressed on the concept of fashion for him. "I think the most fashionable person is the one who doesn't think too much, and is a little unserious and chill. Ultimately, one's swag comes out automatically when you see the personality. If you think too much, then you are trying to blend in too much, I feel," Siddhant said.

Siddhant Chaturvedi spoke his heart out while in a quick conversation at the Lakme Fashion Week 2026, where he addressed questions asked by IANS around style, fashion, and public perception.

On the professional front, Siddhant made his Bollywood debut with "Gully Boy" in 2019, where his performance as MC Sher received widespread acclaim.

He later went on to feature in films such as "Bunty Aur Babli 2", "Phone Bhoot" amongst many others.

Siddhant also received great reviews for his performance in the Deepika Padukone-starrer "Gehraiyaan," which released in 2022.

He was last seen in "Do Deewane Sheher Mein" alongside Mrunal Thakur.

Siddhant is currently gearing up for an ambitious upcoming project where he will be seen portraying the iconic filmmaker V. Shantaram.

The film also stars Tamannaah Bhatia and is being directed by Laxman Utekar. The project is tentatively slated for release in 2026.

Totally agree with his point about not thinking too much. The best style is effortless. But let's be real, at Fashion Week, saying "they make us wear good clothes" is a bit of a cop-out, no? The pressure is real for everyone there.

Good for him! Finally an actor who talks sense. We watch movies for performances, not for what they wear on a red carpet. All the best for the V. Shantaram film, that's a challenging role.

As someone who works in media, I appreciate his honesty. The social media scrutiny on celebrity fashion is insane. His 'chill' philosophy is probably the only sane way to deal with it.

True yaar. Your swag comes from confidence in your work, not from branded clothes. Hope the new directors and producers are listening. Focus on script and acting, not just making actors fashion models.

Respect. But it's easy to say when you're already successful. For newcomers, the pressure to look a certain way on Instagram is immense to even get noticed. The industry needs to change from the top.
