Sid is very cautious maybe even scared of emotional intimacy. He is scared of given emotional access to anyone. There are two outer layers of his personality. The first is the reserved, aloof maybe arrogant exterior that is displayed for those whom he doesn't know or like. The second is the goofy, sarcastic, annoying side which comes out in a circle of friends. The most intimate layer we haven't seen yet. He however has talked about it when he says "main effect nahi hona chahta". I wonder why is he so fearful of emotional display and intimacy?
Individuals who don't express themselves through words have other avenues of expression. Sids physicality and body language is extremely interesting. His bouts of anger and aggression is that bottled emotion. Even his expression of camaraderie is physical i.e. the constant physical teasing and wrestling.
He has some really unique quirks too. One is his absolute insistence of correcting pronunciation. Also if he doesn't know the meaning of a word he will stop a fight midway to find its meaning. I find it hilarious.
One thing that is common between him and Sana is they both internalise humiliation to their pride. Whenever Salman and Rohit have given a dressing down to Sid, he was visibly embarrassed. Similarly, Sana internalises this too "mujhe neecha dekha rahe hain".
Finally he does have a malicious side which I don't like. He wears unlikeability as a garb to protect himself. He is purposefully mean to certain people. I don't know but I think of Severus Snape whenever I see that side of him.
