Sidharth Malhotra: My parents know that they have no control over me since I live away

Actor Sidharth Malhotra has understood the ways of the film industry quite well now and he can deal with rumours and linkups in a more matured manner. But, the ‘Baar Baar Dekho’ actor says that the fame he enjoys is yet to sink in for his parents.

Speaking to a popular daily, Sidharth said, “My parents are used to seeing me in the papers, but my mother still gets excited on special occasions. My dad, too, will comment on whatever it is, be it a trailer, a story or a song. But when it comes to link-ups, they’ve let that be. My parents have never been that intrusive, so in that aspect, I am lucky. Also, they know that they have no control over me since I live away. So now, my mother knows that ‘beta haath se nikal gaya hai’. They’d rather be friends than being parents. I don’t know if they’re okay with it but then when I say that we are co-stars and we are working together, they do understand. They’re also maturing as I am.”

Since 2007, the Delhi based 31-year-old actor has been staying in rented apartments, but now he is ready to buy his own house and has already locked in a property. He says, “The negotiations are on, but it’s very difficult to close the deal and get all the paperwork done. I have stayed everywhere from Malad to Bandra (in Mumbai). I’m looking (for a house) in and around Bandra.”

On the work front, the actor will next be seen in ‘Reloaded’ with Jacqueline Fernandez and in remake of ‘Ittefaq’ opposite Sonakshi Sinha.
