As a dedicated follower, I find Siddhant Chaturvedi to be an inspiring figure who embodies the spirit of perseverance and following one’s dreams. His journey from pursuing chartered accountancy to becoming a prominent actor in Bollywood is truly commendable.


Numerous actors from the Bollywood industry have deviated from their original career choices to enter the film world. One such individual abandoned his path as a Chartered Accountant (CA) and achieved significant success in Bollywood. He has collaborated with several prominent figures, including Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif. The actor we’re referring to is Siddhant Chaturvedi.

Initially, Siddhant Chaturvedi aimed for a career in chartered accountancy, following in his father’s footsteps. However, during his internship period, he made the decision to abandon this path. In an interview with Elle India, he shared, “I continued it for about four to five months before I understood that I couldn’t carry on any longer.

2016 saw Siddhant appearing in the web series titled Life Sahi Hai, followed by Inside Edge in 2017 where he portrayed a cricketer. The turning point in his career came with the 2019 movie Gully Boy, alongside Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, which marked his grand entrance into Bollywood. His role as MC Sher, a street rapper, gained him immense admiration and affection.

After appearing in the romantic comedy Bunty Aur Babli 2, Siddhant had roles in three other films during 2022: Gehraiyaan with Deepika Padukone and Ananya Panday, Phone Bhoot with Katrina Kaif and Ishaan Khatter (a horror comedy), and another critically-acclaimed performance in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, which was released in 2023.

The latest movie starring Siddhant Chaturvedi is titled “Yudhra”. This action-thriller hit the big screens on September 20, 2024, and was directed by Ravi Udyawar. In this film, Siddhant takes on the role of Yudhra, a character dealing with anger issues. Malavika Mohanan plays his love interest, while Raghav Juyal is cast as the villain. The movie is still showing in cinemas now.

In the forthcoming movie, titled Dhadak 2, Siddhant will collaborate with actress Triptii Dimri. This upcoming film is a spiritual successor to the 2018 release Dhadak and is expected to hit theaters on November 22nd.

Discussing Siddhant’s online profile, it’s evident that he maintains a vibrant Instagram account, regularly posting sneak peeks of his professional endeavors and private moments. The platform boasts an impressive following of approximately 3.8 million users who keep up with him.
