Model-actor Sidharth Bhardwaj, who rose to fame after winning MTV Splitsvilla Season 2 and later became the second runner-up on Bigg Boss Season 5, has opened up about his deeply troubled childhood marked by violence, fear, and emotional conflict. After moving to Los Angeles in 2019, Sidharth returned to Indian television this year with the reality show The 50. In a conversation with Siddharth Kanan, the actor revisited painful memories of growing up in a violent household.
