Sidharth Malhotra created a stir with his debut film Student of the Year. But with Hasee Toh Phasee, he is being tagged as the sensitive guy who knows how to pull on everyone's heartstrings
Sidharth Malhotra has yet to come to terms with the new development in his life - his Student of the Year (SOTY) tag has changed to the Hunk Of The Year label. But the handsome actor reveals that female attention makes him a bit awkward and discloses that his first director Karan Johar is like a possessive parent, who he hopes to make proud with Hasee Toh Phasee and Villain.
Since Karan Johar launched you with SOTY, does he always want to know what you are up to?
No. He lets us (Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt and me) make our own decisions and learn from our mistakes. But he is like a possessive parent.
Your Hasee Toh Phasee co-star Parineeti Chopra calls you 'mental' in real life as well. What have you done to earn this title?
You will have to ask Pari that. Initially, she thought that I didn't speak much, but I do have a sense of humour, which she came to know later, and was surprised. It is very easy to make her laugh.
Between Alia Bhatt's Shanaya in SOTY and Parineeti Chopra's Meeta in Hasee Toh Phasee, who is your ideal girl?
I would definitely not want to romance Parineeti but someone like Alia's character in SOTY. Parineeti's Meeta is very mental. But I bond with Pari a lot in real life.
