As Siddhant Chaturvedi gears up for the release of his upcoming film Do Deewane Seher Mein, the actor is reflecting on a chapter of his life that quietly shaped his journey long before fame followed. Known for his discipline and ambition, Siddhant’s rise in Bollywood has Shared his love, Story. Raised in a middle-class household, he was initially on a conventional career path, pursuing chartered accountancy like his father, before choosing to step away from financial stability to chase his long-held dream of becoming an actor.
Opening up about a defining phase of his life in a conversation, Siddhant spoke candidly about a relationship that began when he was just 18. “There was this girl I was, you know, madly in love with. I was doing Chartered Accountancy, she was also in the same class. I used to take a train ulta to go to where she was every day, even though my house was the other way,” he said. The two eventually entered into a relationship that lasted four years. However, as Siddhant’s aspirations evolved, so did the challenges. “Now the sad part that happened is because in me it was like, I wanted to be an actor that time, and thing was that she wanted to get married by 24,” he shared.
“I was like, ‘Yaar, mereko pata nahi ki abhi main toh ekdum kuch naya hi shuru kar raha hoon. You know, can you wait for me?’ So she was like, ‘I’ll wait for you.’Obviously, she waited, but there was—she realized I was under pressure. And I was.” He added that their decision to part ways came from understanding rather than conflict.
“So she told me that, ‘Listen, I think you know what you wanna do. It’s a long journey, I want you to be pressure-free, so you go pursue your dreams. We are parting ways, but remember that you have to make this worth something’. So I had to choose between my dream and my love, and she was like, ‘You choose your dream and you make sure that, you know, your love was worth it.’” Summing up the experience with poetic clarity, the actor concluded, “Shayar ne aisa mehsoos kiya hai ki — jis afsane ko anjaam dena naa ho mumkin, usse bas ek haseen mod dekar chhod dena chahiye.” The validation came years later, after his breakthrough. “Jab Gully Boy hua, my first message was from her—that you kept your promise. And by that time, she was already married and… yeah.”

With Do Deewane Seher Mein, a Bhansali Productions film co-starring Mrunal Thakur, he steps into a space of emotional depth and cinematic nuance.
