Sidharth Malhotra has beaten actors like Farhan Akhtar and Ranveer Singh to become Tourism New Zealand's first Indian ambassador from India. The actor was chosen because he had the highest statistics on social media and extremely popular with the youth. Few know that Sidharth is also a lover of nature, outdoors and extreme sports. He will be visiting and experiencing New Zealand culture, meeting local Maori during his action-packed visit to NZ. Sidharth adds, "I am gearing up for some hard core adventure such as skydive, skywalk and diving, and I can't wait to experience the local wildlife in New Zealand. I have also heard extensively about the food and wine, Maori culture and other unique experiences that the country offers."

You just answered you own question, if he was popular he would have been the ambassador. 😆

I dont see how this is a measure of who is most popular, Ranveer is the brand ambassador of Adidas, rk has lenovo and so many other brands, Farhan also has big brands

It just shows all the young actors r getting good endorsements including sid

In terms of box office success, yes, Varun is ahead of the other young actors, even RK imo, but the article mentions popularity on social media. Perhaps they meant the number of followers on Twitter, etc.

I suppose that's how PR teams work nowadays...they need to bring someone down to show their client in a more positive light, it seems. 🥱

I really like Sidharth, but his PR team is not particularly competent (although this article might have been released by the NZ Ambassador team).

Fair enough. This endorsement goes with his personality I see a flavour in their personalities their ads also use that.

@bold:And you say that with such amount of confidence because?😊.. let me guess,Ormax media 😊

Varun might be ahead of Sid currently because he has done more movies and most of them were well received by audience.Does not mean Sid is far below.For ur kind information,in recent poll conducted by Hindustan times,Sid was voted as third most attractive actor after Varun and Ranbir among youth😊.So if his popularity is a myth,why does he end up winning polls.

"Brothers" (a movie where he had like 15 mins of screen time and rightfully the reason trade never targeted Sid for movie under performing) might have done some damage to his so far stable career,but that does not imply his popularity will vanish overnight.As real world doesnt think like this forum.SOTY,Ek Villain and HTP are still played frequently in all channels.

Yes he is not a big name in endorsement world because of his introvert personality and no controversies around him,but he is gradually finding his ease in media and bagging lucrative offers like above.Yes his followers are majorly from girl population(which is not something to be looked down upon,as SRK the biggest superstar of this country has always received more adulation from the fairer sex) but after Brothers,his male fan following has shown improvement too.So yes,he cant match Varun's popularity probably but he is there right behind and will not fall of the radar anytime soon😊
