Delhi lad Siddharth Malhotra is all set for his dream debut with Karan Johar’s Student of the Year. One look at him, and it won’t be easy to make out that the guy, who is presumed to be 24, is actually 27.

The journey from the capital to Karan's office has been a whirlwind one for this chap. "One day, I was assisting Karan on My Name is Khan, and now I'm the leading man of SOTY. I have to pinch myself to believe this is for real,'' he smiles.

Known as Sid among his friends, he did a stint in modelling in Delhi and says his Bollywood trek has just begun. But he can already feel people's changing attitude and quizzical looks. "Relatives who haven't bothered about me for years have now started discovering me,'' he laughs. "I'm enjoying every bit of the attention, though.''

Any nervousness while he waits for the release of his first film? "Yes and no,'' he replies.”Sometimes, I'm a bit nervous. But at most times, I'm confident. I have landed a dream debut. Karan, according to me, has the safest pair of hands in the film business." Sid actually wants to emulate Shahrukh Khan, who is also a Delhi boy, who rules the roost today. But he knows his own personal journey has only just begun.

Well, here we are hoping the journey turns out to be really wonderful for you Siddharth!
