“I Understand The Trauma of Kashmir” – Sidhant Gupta

Published by Parlour News

For actor Sidhant Gupta, Mumbai may be where he works, but his roots remain firmly in Jammu. Raised in a city that sits at the very heart of India’s most storied and complex region, Sidhant carries his roots not as nostalgia, but as an active creative inheritance, one where Jammu’s proximity to Kashmir has quietly but powerfully informed the characters he has been drawn to. He says, “It’s fascinating how two of my most prominent roles hailed from not too far from Jammu. To think of it, must have helped in being casted. My breakthrough role of Jay Khanna in Jubilee was from Karachi, which was a part of India then. And the recent role of the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, was born in Kashmir. We’re obviously one state.” Also Read: Exclusive: “We all long for acceptance.
