Excited to be part of the show, Sidharth says, “I’ve always been part of shows from the first episode, but this is the first time that I am doing a show which has already been on air.” The actor has previously done three shows including Star One’s Jaane Pehchaane Se Ye Ajnabbi and Star Plus’ Love U Zindagi.

“For me, this role will be a double whammy as it’s a huge opportunity, but at the same time it will also add a lot of pressure. BV has been a successful show for four years and it has a huge fan base. I hope people accept me in the show and I am able to take it to higher level,” he says, adding, that he signed the project without even giving it a second thought. “In BV, every actor’s performance touches your heart. The team on the show is dedicated, which inspires me a lot.” Talking about his character, Sidharth says, “He is an honest, impatient, righteous guy who is approachable, yet has an attitude. He is fully into his job and is a confident guy who can handle any kind of situation.”
