Siddharth has a special connect with sea

Sidharth Malhotra's idea of real life romance would be an intimate setting on a beach with an "interesting partner".

The model-actor, who made his Bollywood debut with ‘Student Of The Year’ and romanced Alia Bhatt, will now be seen in romantic comedy ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’ with Parineeti Chopra.

Asked about his idea of real life romance, he said: "My romantic evening will be intimate - probably two people and not in a very crowded place. I would like to go to a secluded place somewhere, hopefully on a beach."

Sidharth spoke on the sidelines of the unveiling of the signature ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’ love seat in Mumbai.

He says he has a special connect with the sea.

"I like sea. My father was in the merchant navy, so I have travelled a lot on the sea. So, hopefully my romantic evening will be on a beach with an interesting partner," he added.

In ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’, Sidharth plays the role of Nikhil, and he finds a personal connect with the character.

"He (character of Nikhil in the film) is very ambitious. He wants to do well. He is a bit confused in terms of doing what his family wants and what he wants. I think it is very true to all the youths today.

"Sometimes they get pressurised (by things like) 'My mom wants me to do this, my father wants me to do this'. And this boy (Nikhil) is equally confused in that sense.

"He sticks by his commitments if he has made to his girlfriend or his lover, and that is very interesting as well. So, this character is pretty much close to me when I was in college," he added.

Produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and directed by Vinil Mathew,’ Hasee Toh Phasee’ is slated to release on February 7, 2014.Shahid relived, finally!

After giving series of flops, actor Shahid Kapoor finally delivered a hit with ‘R...Rajkumar’ and says the film's success has brought him a huge relief.

His last successful film was 2009 release ‘Kaminey’ and after that most of his releases such as ‘Chance Pe Dance’, ‘Mausam’, ‘Teri Meri Kahaani’, and ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’ bit dust at the box office.

"R..Rajkumar's success has given me a huge relief. I was very excited with the response. I had never done a massy film where the audiences clap and whistle over your dialogues. I am very happy at the moment," said the actor, who delivered dialogues like "Silent hoja, nahin toh main violent ho jaaonga" in the movie.

According to trade analyst Taran Adarash's tweet, director Prabhudheva's ‘R...Rajkumar’, an action-based typical masala movie, which saw Shahid and Sonakshi Sinha as the lead pair, earned Rs.64.43 crore in the first two weeks.

In fact, his father Pankaj Kapur is very happy for him.

"My dad loved the film and he is very happy with the success of the film. He has asked me to keep doing different kind of films. My father watched the film in a screening while my mother and my brother watched it in a single screen," said the 32-year-old.
