He also posted a blurry shot of himself after enduring the 7-minute ice bath, capturing the toll the freezing experience took on him.

On the work front, Siddhant Chaturvedi will next be seen in the upcoming film, "Dhadak." Speaking about the film at the NDTV Yuva event, the actor shared that the movie gave him the opportunity to explore his roots.

Siddhant shared, "I would love to share the release date first; I hope Karan is watching this. But yeah, we have made a really strong and rooted film. Usually, I have been approached for urban roles, but I come from Ballia, a small town in UP, and this is my first time exploring such a genre. I'm very excited; it's a wonderful script with an amazing co-actress, Triptii. I wish I could share more, but for now, I'll let the trailer do the talking. It will be out very soon this year. Fingers crossed."

"Dhadak 2," directed by Shazia Iqbal and produced by Dharma Productions, serves as a sequel to "Dhadak," which was itself a remake of the hit Marathi film "Sairat."

Interesting marketing strategy, but I wish we got more details about why he did this. Is it related to a scene in the movie? Or just personal challenge?

The article mentions Dhadak 2 but then says it's a sequel to Dhadak which was a remake of Sairat? Little confusing there. But excited for both his projects!
