    “Sometimes, talent isn’t enough! I wish I had a godfather too. I was disappointed, heartbroken, but then I made myself understand that this is quite common,” Siddharth said in a recent interview with Hindustan Times. The actor, who has been part of big-banner films like Dhoom 3 and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, revealed that he had prepared extensively for the role before it was quietly passed on to Aaman. “After spending 10 years in the industry, it hits hard when something you’ve worked towards just slips away because of something out of your control—like someone’s last name,” he said. “I was in talks, prepped, and ready, and then suddenly the project went to Ajay Devgn’s nephew, Aaman Devgan. There was no explanation, no closure—just silence.”

    Siddharth admitted that the experience left him demotivated. “It’s demotivating when you lose projects due to lack of support or that final push in the industry. I won’t lie, it hurt—my mother was even more hurt, as she had been going to meetings with me and has seen me work hard all these years. I have the screen presence, skills, and discipline. But even then, I lost the role, not because I wasn’t good enough, but because I didn’t have the right support.”

    Despite the disappointment, Siddharth continues to lean on the strength of his family. “I don’t have a godfather, but sometimes, I wish I did. Just someone to put their hand on my shoulder and say, ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got your back.’ But I’ve always had to be my own support system. My mother, my brother—we’ve built everything from scratch.”

    On his ambitions going forward, the actor remains hopeful. “I have done quite a few big banner projects, like Dhoom 3 and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, but I’m still waiting for that film—where people look at me and say, ‘This is Siddharth Nigam, the actor.’ Not just the face or the physique, but the performer.”

    Siddharth’s heartfelt words strike a chord with many aspiring artists navigating a system often shaped by influence and insider access.
