He made a successful Bollywood debut with Student Of The Year in 2012 and managed to garner a fan base with his good looks in the initial years of career. The past couple of years, however, have been rough for Sidharth Malhotra. The audience wasn't quite impressed with his films such as Baar Baar Dekho, A Gentleman, and Aiyaari, which turned out to be duds at the box office.

"Rome was not built in one day, It takes time to create something great. Similarly, one should not analyse an actor's growth by one particular film. I know there were films that did not do well and I would be lying if I say failure does not affect me. It affects me, but I know how to deal with it. I maintain a positive outlook," Sidharth told IANS.
