'I Have a Birthday Ritual of Watching a Film': Sidhant Gupta Keeps His Birthday Celebrations Personal This Year Too

For shape-shifter-turned-action hero Sidhant Gupta, birthdays aren’t about grand gestures or crowded celebrations. They are rooted in a quiet, deeply personal ritual. “I have a birthday ritual of welcoming my birthday by watching a film. Last year, I watched Sinners, and this year, I might go and see The Drama,” he shares, offering a glimpse into a tradition that reflects both his love for cinema and his introspective nature.

The ritual isn’t just about the film itself, but what it represents, a moment of pause, reflection, and reset. In a time and age where life in general is fast paced, this simple act becomes Sidhant's way of reclaiming time, allowing himself to step away from the noise and immerse in storytelling purely as an audience. It’s a reminder of why he began in the first place, reconnecting with the craft without the pressures of performance.

And to add more sparkle to his big day, this year's birthday celebrations also carry an added layer of warmth for Sidhant. “My mother is also coming, so I will spend some time with her too,” he adds. Beyond the solitary comfort of cinema, this moment of togetherness makes the day feel even more intimate and rooted. In its quiet simplicity, the actor's birthday plan speaks volumes as sometimes, the most meaningful celebrations are the ones that stay closest to home
