Karan Johar’s mentee, Siddharth Malhotra, denies rumors of dating a Costa Rican model!

Model-turned-actor Siddharth Malhotra needs no introduction. Considered to be one of tinsel-town’s most promising actors, Siddharth Malhotra starred in Karan Johar’s Student of the Year alongside Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.

However, for the gorgeous and handsome Siddharth Malhotra, acting didn’t come easily. The actor had to work hard to fit into his character for the film. "It has not been an easy journey. I started my career with modeling and then worked with Karan as an assistant director. At that time I had never imagined that he will cast me as a lead actor in his movie," says Siddharth. Quoting Karan Johar, “He (Siddharth Malhotra) somehow met someone at Dharma Productions and got the job of a trainee assistant director (AD) on My Name is Khan. My Name Is Khan was an expansive shoot, but he lasted all through and was one of the finest ADs of the film."

That said, Siddharth Malhotra has managed to gather a huge fan-base, particularly made up of teenage girls who simply can’t get enough of the debutant. The actor was last rumored to be dating a Costa Rican model named Natalie, leaving the better half of his fan-base disappointed! Siddharth and Natalie apparently met when the former visited the United States for My Name Is Khan. However, these dating rumors were proved to be untrue. The actor has also been said to be dating his SOTY co-star, Alia Bhatt. These rumors too were trashed by the young actors.
