In his post, Sidharth reflected on how sports have been an integral part of his life, stating, “From Delhi streets to film sets, my love for cricket remains unchanged! Sports were always a big part of my life—whether it was basketball, club-level rugby, football, or gully cricket. They helped shape me into who I am today and built my physical and mental strength. Now, shoot breaks are just an excuse for a quick cricket fix! #NationalSportsDay #Throwback.”
The actor’s nostalgic post resonated with many, including Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who responded with heart-eye emojis. Fans also took to the comments, with one user expressing hope that Sidharth might appear in a biopic about cricketing legend Yuvraj Singh, whose extraordinary career and personal battles will soon come out on screen. The film, produced by Bhushan Kumar and Ravi Bhagchandka, aims to capture Singh’s inspiring journey from cricket stardom to his off-field challenges.
On the professional front, Sidharth was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s web series ‘Indian Police Force’ on Prime Video, where he starred alongside Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Vivek Oberoi. He also appeared in the film ‘Yodha,’ with Disha Patani and Rashii Khanna, which garnered positive reviews and showcased Sidharth’s commendable performance.
