Sidhant recalls the simple words from his mother & grandmother that have helped kept him grounded

Actor Sidhant reveals the simple words from his mother and grandmother that became his life mantra, keeping him grounded in the film industry.

"Jo bhi karna, dekh sunke karna - Sidhant's mother and grandmother"

Mumbai, March 12

Actor Sidhant recalled the simple words from his mother and grandmother that have helped keep him grounded all these years.

Recalling his growing-up years in Jammu, the 'Black Warrant' actor shared that every time he used to step out of the house, his mom and grandmother used to remind him, "Whatever you do, do it only after watching and listening carefully".

"This voice is my mother's and my grandmother's. Every time I used to leave the door when I was growing up, they would tell me, 'Jo bhi karna, dekh sunke karna'," shared Sidhant.

He admitted that he used to take these simple words for granted as a child, but as he grew up, he took them almost as a life mantra, realizing that life is short and his dream very big.

Sidhant went on to add, "Back then, you took these simple life liners for granted. Now, when I have an understanding that life is short and dreams are big, every time I leave the door, that voice checks in in my mind... 'Dekh sunke...' So I never lose my way."

Being part of an industry that can easily pull you off course, Sidhant credits this one inherited line for keeping him grounded throughout his journey.

Meanwhile, not too long ago, Sidhant opened up about his roots from Jammu, wondering if fiction could match up to what people of Kashmir have faced in reality.

"It's fascinating how two of my most prominent roles hailed from not too far from Jammu. To think of it, it must have helped in being casted. My breakthrough role of Jay Khanna in 'Jubilee' was from Karachi, which was a part of India then. And the recent role of the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, was born in Kashmir. We're obviously one state," the 'Jubilee' actor stated.

Respect for Sidhant. In an industry full of noise, holding onto such grounded advice from family is what keeps you real. "Dekh sunke karna" – a powerful mantra for life, not just acting.

It's heartwarming but also a bit sad that such basic wisdom feels like a revelation now. Shouldn't we all be living by this anyway? Still, good on him for acknowledging it publicly.

Interesting perspective. The line about Jammu and Kashmir being "obviously one state" is a strong sentiment shared by many. Art and personal history often intersect in powerful ways.

My nani used to say the same thing! It means so much more now as an adult working in a corporate jungle. These are the values that make our culture so rich. More actors should talk about this instead of just glamour.

As someone from Jammu, it's proud to see a fellow Dogra doing well and remembering where he came from. "Dekh sunke" is classic motherly advice. Wishing him more success! ✨
