Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez are the new rumoured budding couples around the block. A lot of portals have reported that Sid and Alia Bhatt have broken up for good, owing to his closeness with Jacqueline who is also his co-star for their upcoming film, A Gentleman. Sid finally breaks his silence on all these rumours and quips that Akshay Kumar is the only co-star he hasn’t been linked with yet. In an interview with Midday, Sidharth opened up about being linked up every time and how it affects his private space. Though the actor tries to be okay with these rumours, he can’t make peace with it.
He says, “Is it something about me? Barring Akshay Kumar, all my co-stars and I have been items.” Reacting to rumours of Alia being uncomfortable with Sid meeting Jackie outside of work, he says, “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. I’ve been compelled to be okay with these rumours rather than be upset about them.” (ALSO READ: Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt call it quits…PERMANENTLY?)
The actor maintains that no matter what rumours say, he is good friends with Jacqueline and they have become such good friends since they share similar interests. He adds, “You don’t need an ice breaker with someone like Jacky, she’s always positive. I don’t remember her looking stressed, such energy is alluring. What worked for us was the fact that we gelled off camera. We bonded over our common interests. We used to talk about our love for horses and one morning, we just went horse-riding at the race course.”
