Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who is known as Dharma's blue-eyed boy recently in an interview with Huffington Post, opened up about his relationship with Dharma. The actor not only spoke about the importance of Dharma in his life and his career but also about his relationship with mentor Karan Johar.
When asked about the importance of Karan's role in his life, who has produced 5-6 of his films, the actor said, "A lot. He introduced me to this industry. He's got me here. The 'Ma' aspect in Dharma is him as he's given me birth in Bollywood. That is a huge role.'
When prodded further and asked if he is sustaining because of Dharma, the actor said, "Are you implying that people come to watch the films I do because Karan Johar is producing them? No, right? They come because they like the trailer and want to check it out. And it is not correct to say that I've only done Dharma. Ek Villain was Balaji. Hasee Toh Phasee was a Phantom production and Baar Baar an Excel."
The actor concluded saying, "You pin down the credit to Karan and a lot it is deserved but it cannot just be one person pushing you for the last 5 years right. You've to have something much more than that."
