Siddharth shows his spiritual side
Dressed in a black suit, the actor looked every bit a star. But Siddharth showed the audience a different side of him at a unique event in the city, where he posed a volley of questions to spiritual guru, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. The conversation had the two discussing the various troubles that bother today���s youth.
Talking about what spirituality means to him, Siddharth said, ���To me, spirituality is something that is very internal and very private.

It is not something that I like to talk about often. I think it���s something all of us experience when we are by ourselves.��� We also quizzed him on what it means to be an actor in a day and age when actors are surrounded with excesses and are perceived to be materialistic. ���This perception is quite wrong. I think one must make an effort to really get to know the actor before one makes such an assumption.
I like to keep my personal life very simple. But then, I also think it���s okay when we work so hard as actors, to indulge ourselves, once in a while.��� Siddharth seemed to be in a convivial mood as he shared a joke or two with the spiritual guru while they delved deeper into the various issues of youth and spirituality. ���You are the youth while I am the truth,��� quipped the spiritual leader before talking about how youngsters need to learn anger management. ���One can only be angry with oneself, and anger is nothing, but an expression of dissatisfaction with one���s surroundings and environments. It���s important to realise that and channelise these energies in the right manner.���
The two discussed about everything from the recent Delhi case to the need for good leadership in the country. Siddharth also posed a tongue-in-cheek question to the guru, asking him when the Indian cricket team will win a match! ���Send them to me for three weeks, and I���ll ensure they win!��� the Sadhguru quipped, ending the event on a funny note. Spotted at the venue was actress Samantha and Siddharth���s parents too, who had flown down from Chennai to attend the discussion.
