Siddhant Chaturvedi Reflects on Growing up in UP and Overcoming Language Barriers

Siddhant Chaturvedi opened up about his upbringing in Uttar Pradesh and how language played a key role in his journey towards self-confidence.

The Ballia-born actor shared that Bhojpuri was his first language and said his background continues to influence the way he sees the world.

“I come from UP and my mother till today pronounces ‘bhagwan sankar’ and Akshay Kumar as ‘Aksay Kumar’. So this was personal as it has been a problem for me. I initially struggled with it a lot when I first came to Mumbai. It took me five-six years to speak in Hindi, I used to talk in Bhojpuri,” Siddhant said.

He added, “The first girl I liked came from Chennai and her English was great, so I learned some for her. But this issue with ‘sh’ and ‘s’, I struggled with it a lot in the beginning.”

“It’s not about whether you’re from UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Gujarat, the North-East or even Nepal. There’s always a language barrier, and when you’re conscious of it, it somewhere affects your confidence,” the actor shared.
