Fan Club Of The Week - Sidharth Malhotra

DASHING movie star Sidharth Malhotra has become an acclaimed actor and a heartthrob who has delighted a rapidly growing global fan base. Three of his admirers are Astha, Muskaan and Rahaf from India and Bangladesh, who run a fan club dedicated to him. Eastern Eye caught up with them to find out more...

What made you set up the fan club?

We wanted to spread love and positivity for Sidharth Malhotra. Not that there was less, but we wanted to add to it. So when some really good pictures of him went unnoticed, we decided to open this club and began updating fellow fans.

Tell us about your fan club...

Our fan club is called Sid Updates, which is sweet and self-explanatory.

We provide daily updates, including pictures, videos and articles about Sid­harth Malhotra. We spread as much love as possible for him.

What has been your best moment?

There have been many memorable mo­ments. Every time we get compliments from the Sidian family or a retweet or like from Sidharth himself as an acknowledgement for our work is memorable for us.

What is the best thing you like about Sidharth Malhotra?

His simplicity and hard-working na­ture. We love the fact that he’s so grounded despite being such a big star.

What is your favourite work of his?

We like all his work. Each project of his is different from the other. Everything has its own beauty and a message that is left behind. Or sometimes, they’re purely entertaining and refreshing.

Tell us an interesting fact about him...

His love for animals! It’s so heart-warm­ing to see him post about the time he spends with Oscar (his pet). Wherever he encounters pets, he treats them with so much love. He even tweeted the link of a trailer of a film about having dogs and attended a festival for pet adoption. That’s just so cute!

What is your definition of a true fan?

A true fan is someone who stands by his favourite at all times, be it a tough phase or a happy one. Also someone who can say what they feel about their favourite’s work without sugar-coating it. We Sidians can do that with Sid because he treats us like his buddies.
