Sidharth became a sought-after actor post his stint in Balika Vadhu and even went on to sign a 3-film deal with Dharma Productions after Karan Johar saw him on Jhalak Dikhla Jaa and was impressed with the actor. This led to Sidharth making his bollywood debut with the Varun Dhawan - Alia Bhatt starrer Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya. Soon after, he began his hosting career and eventually went on to do Dil Se Dil Tak on Colors.
