Siddhant reveals, “Actually no one knows that I’m hydrophobic! So, when I was told that Luv Ju will have a sequence where Sharvari and I have to shoot underwater, I got very scared. But, as I have learnt from my parents, if you do have a phobia or a fear, you have to address it and win over it.”
He adds, “Despite my fear to the enter water, I remember going for swimming lessons before I shot Luv Ju. I had to do this for many days and first learn swimming. Slowly, I felt more confident that I could do the underwater sequence.”
