Koffee with Karan 7: Siddhant Chaturvedi opens up on his work experience with Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone

Siddhant Chaturvedi and his Phone Bhoot co-stars Katrina Kaif and Ishaan Khatter made recent appearances on the chat show Koffee With Karan 7. The trio talked about a range of subjects on the show, including bromance, possible relationships, as well as suhaag raat. In the tenth episode, Siddhant discussed his experiences working with Deepika Padukone and Katrina, two major superstars.

Siddhant remarked on his time collaborating with Katrina Kaif in Phone Bhoot and, previously, Deepika Padukone in Gehraiyaan. He continued by discussing his experiences working with each performer as well as how they differed, saying, "They are two distinct superstars. For me, every film is a first film. I have worked with Ranveer and Alia in my first and then Deepika and Katrina in my second."

Eventually, Karan questioned the actor about whether being around Katrina ever made him feel intimidated. Siddhant explained, "I think it was the first time we did the scene together. I was very nervous, because Vicky (Kaushal) was there."

Karan further asked Siddhant regarding his statements on nepotism during the Newcomers Roundtable 2019. After Ananya compared professional achievement to appearances on Koffee with Karan, Siddhant responded on the Newcomers Roundtable, "The difference is that jahaan humare sapne poore hote hote hain, wahi inka struggle shuru hota hai (their battle begins where our ambitions are achieved)."

Siddhant defended his remark by saying that he had no intention of hurting or harming anyone. He genuinely loves his roots while claiming that the journey is generally the tougher part, but he embraces it. He explained, "But that’s my truth and everybody has their own truth and that was the line about struggle. They have their own struggle of acceptance. It takes a while."

In addition, Katrina, Siddhant, and Ishaan will make an appearance in the forthcoming movie Phone Bhoot. The film, which also features Jackie Shroff, Sheeba Chadha, and Nidhi Bisht, is hitting the big screens on November 4, 2022. Gurmmeet Singh is directing the movie, and Jasvinder Singh Bath and Ravi Shankaran wrote the script. The film was produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the Excel Entertainment label.
