Siddharth's personal life has also been under the spotlight.
In October 2014, he had a roka ceremony with Kanika Mathur, but the wedding was delayed as he focused on his career.
He got engaged to Ishita Kumar in February 2019, but the wedding was called off as Siddharth felt he wasn't ready for marriage.
