New Delhi: Television actor turned movie star Siddharth Nigam made his big Bollywood debut with Salman Khan's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan - a multi-starrer which had Pooja Hegde in the lead role opposite Bigg Boss host. Siddharth, who became a household name with period dramas such as Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat, Chandra Nandini and Aladdin – Naam Toh Suna Hoga recently opened up on his journey of working in TV serials to coming into Bollywood.

Siddharth Nigam told us, "The journey has been tough with many struggles and hurdles, but I have learned a lot and matured ahead of time. My journey till date has been amazing. At times, I thought I would never be able to work in a movie because I did not have connection and guidance in the industry. However, I worked with whatever I was offered and even after working in two superhit TV shows called Ashoka and Aladdin when I use to go and meet film people from the film industry, they use to say I am just a TV actor and couldn't act in a movie, but I wanted to break that stigma. TV is not just a television for me, it's a theatre and for an actor, the platform does not matter, all that matters is the project or content. I never thought I would be in a movie, but thanks to Salman sir, he has given me this wonderful opportunity."
