How Siddhant Chaturvedi Made His Father's ‘Unfinished Dream' A Reality
Last Updated:
Siddhant Chaturvedi also shared how his father supported him through countless auditions and rejections early in his acting journey.
On a day dedicated to fathers, many Bollywood celebrities took a nostalgic journey through their childhoods, sharing heartfelt memories and tributes on social media. Among them was Siddhant Chaturvedi, who penned a touching note for his father on June 15.
The actor shared a series of pictures on Instagram, including an adorable throwback photo from his childhood that shows just how cute he's always been. He also included a recent picture of himself and his dad, smiling and enjoying a quiet moment together over a cup of coffee. Sharing the photos, he penned, 'The most beautiful thing in the world is watching your parents grow old in front of you… But somehow, you never age for them, you're always a kid."
He then shared his father's love for cinema, writing, 'My father invested in my dream—an unfinished dream of his. From Ballia to this city of rising skyscrapers and failing dreams, he held on to me. Every movie he ever watched—stealing from his own school fee (Rs 1), sometimes through a peephole in a worn-out cinema hall in Ballia… Taking turns with friends queued up, finishing a film over 10 days… All that love for cinema, stored in a Gullak of dreams. All for me."

The actor also revealed how his father stood beside him while he was diving deep into the world of auditions and rejections. He wrote, 'He made sure I completed my education (& even more CA)—a contingency plan for if the Bollywood dreams break. Securing me first… and then letting me cut the harness, fearlessly diving deep into the world of auditions and rejections. I couldn't have done it alone."
'Every movie I do is for that little kid—my dad—watching from a peephole outside a cinema hall. And I still have to do more. Much more. Love you, Papa. P.S. — It's awkward to say all of this to you in person. You know how father-son dynamics are… We don't say 'I love you" easily. It's awkward. But here it is," he concluded.
On the work front, Siddhant Chaturvedi is set to appear next in the romantic comedy Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling, alongside Wamiqa Gabbi and Jaya Bachchan. Additionally, he is reportedly reuniting with his Phone Bhoot co-star Ishaan Khatter and actress Pooja Hegde for an upcoming project.
