In
2020,
Siddhant
Chaturvedi’s
response
to
Ananya
Panday
talking
about
her
struggles
on
former
journalist
Rajeev
Masand’s
roundtable
interview
went
viral
and
gave
way
to
many
memes
on
social
media.
Many
assumed
that
it
was
a
subtle
dig
at
the
existing
nepotism
in
Bollywood
and
lauded
the

Gully
Boy
actor
for
his
honest
take
on
the
industry.

Recently,
when
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
graced
Karan
Johar’s
popular
talk
show

Koffee
With
Karan
Season
7,
he
was
asked
about
his
viral
comment
on
nepotism
which
was
appreciated,
but
got
Ananya
Panday
at
the
receiving
end
of
the
netizens.

Siddhant
said,
“I
mean
there
was
no
intention
to
kind
of
harm
anybody
or
cause
any
kind
of
hurt.
I
thought
it
was
just
my
truth
and
I
will
always
speak
my
truth
because
I
mean
yes,
you
know
it’s
been
a
bit
difficult.”

The

Gehraiyaan
actor
further
added,
“It’s
always
the
journey
that
is
harder
but
I
embrace
it,
I
really
love
where
I
come
from.
But
that’s
my
truth
and
everybody
has
their
own
truth
and
that
was
the
line
about
struggle.
They
have
their
own
struggle
of
acceptance.
It
takes
a
while.
That’s
my
observation,
that
was
my
truth.
But
having
said
that,
it’s
a
talk
which
will
keep
going
on
-Nepotism.
We
just
can’t
keep
complaining
about
it.”
