In an interview with The Times of India, Siddharth talked about how heartbreaking it was to hear the news about his father, Vijay Mallya, and the charges put on him. Sidharth shared, "I think that when you read anything on anyone you care about--a parent, friend, or sibling--and not even read about it, as humans, we don't like to see people we care about, suffering. Whether he is being accused or not accused is inconsequential. The fact that you know someone is suffering, does hurt."
In the same interview, Siddharth further revealed that it was the news surrounding his father that acted as a catalyst in his mental health. He said, "Of course, it has, and there is a whole chapter on it in the book. As I said, everyone has an opinion, and there is no hiding from it. Everyone has problems in life and I am not saying we are anything special; it's usually confined to the four walls of the house and a very private matter."
Siddharth further added, "But in a situation like this, it seems to be everyone's business and that everyone feels that they are entitled to an opinion, which they are. But there is a level of due diligence that should go into making an opinion. In today's world, where you can get your opinion across in the click of a button, that process of diligence seems to get lost a lot of times and we don't perhaps think before we type (laughs)."
On the work front, Siddhart had written a book about his mental health!
