In 2016, Sidhartha went through depression. Something that came as a bit of a surprise to him, given that he seemingly had the world at his feet.
Vijay Mallya's son Sidhartha Mallya has had a unique life. Born into one of India's most notable business families he has had what many would consider a blessed life. However, sometimes appearances can be deceiving.
In his yet-to-release memoir 'If I'm Honest', Vijay Mallya's son Sidhartha opens up about struggling with depression, living with OCD, the effects of his parent's divorce, why he quit drinking, and also what helped him face and overcome his challenges.
In 2016, Sidhartha went through depression. Something that came as a bit of a surprise to him, given that he seemingly had the world at his feet -- he was young, had just graduated from a prestigious drama school, and had upcoming film projects. However, despite all the wonderful opportunities, Sidhartha said that he felt unhappy and constantly low.
Talking about his experience and thoughts behind writing the memoir, Sidhartha said, "After seeing the success that my 'conSIDer This' video series had, I felt I had to continue doing whatever I could to shine a light on mental health, and the best way to do that would be to continue talking about my own experiences in an open and honest manner to show that it is OK to talk about our issues. My book is really about helping people see that it's OK to talk about our issues openly and embrace our truth."
After a short career in the business world, Sidhartha made the switch to acting. He trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, graduating with a Master of Arts degree in acting. He made his feature film debut in the Netflix original 'Brahman Naman', which premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
Sidhartha's memoir 'If I'm Honest' will be released on October 21 in India.
