"One has to be a very good dancer to pretend to be a bad dancer"
Aashy > Hi Siddhant, you really have a very nice smile! So, what do you enjoy doing the most - acting or dancing and why?
Siddhanth Karnick > That's a very tricky question because I do love doing both. However, I would pick dancing between the two because there is lot more work, which goes into dancing. Apart from expressions, there is a lot of coordination and energy required in it. Thank you.
Neha > Hi! I'm from USA and my name is Neha. How do you like working in the serial Remix ?
Siddhanth Karnick > I love it with a capital 'L'. It's the best thing going for me right now!
Maddy > Are you doing any other show on TV, apart from Remix ?
Siddhanth Karnick > No, I am under an exclusive contract with the production house.
Mona > Hi, do you still teach dance? How did you get interested in this? Where did you teach?
Siddhanth Karnick > Well, I keep my dancing to (my) bathroom these days. I was always a nautanki (actor). But, I started dancing in college. One thing led to another and I became a dance instructor, then specialised in salsa right after the movie Dance With Me was released. I taught at a place in Bandra (Mumbai). The movie inspired me a lot learn Latino style dancing.
Maddy > Are you seeing anyone?
Siddhanth Karnick > As of now, in my real life, nobody. Although, I am in love with somebody and that is my dog.
Leher > How did you think of making a switch to TV and acting from teaching western dance?
Siddhanth Karnick > I was not only teaching dancing I was modelling as well, and then (serial) Remix came my way. I got the role by auditioning for it. Since then, there has been no looking back.
Palls > Where are you from?
Siddhanth Karnick > I am from Mumbai.
Maddy > How is your off screen relationship with Karan Wahi(Ranveer)?
Siddhanth Karnick > We are the best of buddies off screen and whenever we get the time, we work out together (in the gym).
Mona > What's the movie Dance With Me all about? When did you act in it? Who was in it with you? Was it in English or Hindi? What was your role in it?
Siddhanth Karnick > Dance With Me is a movie that I watched in the theatre. It's all about Latino style dancing, although I wish I had been in the movie. If not, I would like to be in such a movie in the future. Vanessa Williams plays the main lead in the movie. This movie inspired me to take up salsa dancing.
Manyu > Hey, you look really good in Remix . Can you tell me what are your future plans?
Siddhanth Karnick > Thank you. I am going to go with whatever comes my way. Until today, things have been great and I just hope things will be as good, if not better.
Kanakg05 > Hello "Arjun", this is Kanak. When and how did you start your career on TV?
Siddhanth Karnick > Hi Kanak. I started off last December with the serial Remix. I went for an audition, was selected and began shooting. And as for dancing, modelling and compering, I started doing those out of sheer boredom.
Aashy84 > Siddhant, who is your best pal from Remix off screen?
Siddhanth Karnick > You are going to have to believe this, as all of them are very close to me.
Jiva > Is western dancing - formal I mean - catching up in India?
Siddhanth Karnick > Definitely, it is.
Kanakg05 > This is Kanak again. In a part in Remix you are shown to be very awkward while dancing with Tia. If you are such a good dancer then that sequence must have taken a lot of effort on your part to show yourself as a lousy dancer. How did you do it?
Siddhanth Karnick > Kanak, this is a lovely question. All I want to say is that you have to be a very good dancer to pretend to be a bad dancer. Thank you for that question. My students had called up to ask me exactly the same thing.
Sign Off Message > It was lovely talking to you. I wish I could continue chatting but I have to go back to my shoot. I thank all of you for the lovely response and according me an enjoyable experience.
