India, July 12 -- S iddharth Nigam became a household name with lead roles in hit TV shows Aladdin - Naam Toh Suna Hoga and Hero - Gayab Mode On. Since then, he's ventured into films with Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023) and most recently appeared in the web series Hai Junoon. But it's been four years since his last outing on television. Ask him about the hiatus, and he says, "For now, I've taken a break from TV," though he's quick to clarify he hasn't shut the door on it entirely,"I'm not done with TV, but I'm waiting for a role that truly excites me. If I get a script that feels worth doing, I'll consider it. Right now, my focus is on Bollywood, I'm looking for big projects where everything is top-notch, from the story to the production." Though shifting to other mediums brought with it the 'TV actor' label, Siddharth is unfazed. "When you Google my name, you don't just find 'TV actor'. People know me as an actor because I proved my mettle. If someone discovered me through TV or social media, that means I'm doing something right. People can call me what they want, I know I'm doing good work. And I respect television more than anything," says the 24-year-old. Reflecting on the tougher parts of his journey, Siddharth opens up about a phase when he was struggling: "There were no big offers coming in, and I didn't have anyone backing me, no godfather in the industry to support me financially or otherwise." That time, he says, grounded him deeply. "That phase showed me that fame doesn't pay rent. It changed me and taught me that nothing is permanent. It made me value everything more."...
