And their camaraderie during the film’s promotion has only added fuel to the fire.

Despite being in the industry for almost five years, Sidharth is still having a tough time in dealing with link-up rumours. Talking about the same, he told Mid-Day, “Is it something about me? Barring Akshay (Kumar, his co-star in 2015 release Brothers), all my co-actors and I have been items.

“It’s sad that going out for meals and chilling together has such connotations in this universe. Apparently, comfort between co-stars is suggestive of something more than a good working rapport. People in show business aren’t given the leeway to be normal,” he added.

Sidharth will share screen space with Jacqueline for the first time in A Gentleman. The film is set to hit the screens on August 25.
