While
Puneet Issar has been popular for playing
Duryodhan
in Mahabharat, his son and actor
Siddhant Issar
, says he does not want to do TV shows or be part of any reality series. "I am not very keen on doing TV. I am more taken away by web shows and films. I enjoy performing live at theatres. I do not find myself suitable even for reality TV shows. I'm very sensitive soul, so I don't think I would last a day in any of such shows. To be in a reality show one has to be mentally strong" he says
Siddhant has excelled in theatre over the years where he too plays Duryodhan in India's most successful live theatre play Mahabharat- An Epic Tale. The actor agrees that he has been inspired by his dad. "My father is a a man who believes in hardwork over just using his sources. He believes its our efforts and constant perseverance that matters. He taught me that giving respect and love to others is must to achieve success. He doesn't insist on helping me with any of his reference but wants me to struggle and make my way for myself. But yes, as a responsible parent he always encourages me. He gives me the best opinion or feedback on my work. Like him, I wish to make my own identity here in the entertainment industry", he shares.
Talking about his interest towards mythological series he adds, "I love
mythology
! I have read the entire
Mahabharata
and Ramayana multiple times. I love performing on stage as Duryodhan and have earned great reviews. I love stage as today's mythologial TV shows are different."
In the lockdown though, Siddhant got down to writing and directing a film."Two months of complete lockdown got me anxious and even feeling of being creeped in, but I decided to put my energy into some creative work. I wrote a film; directed and acted in it too. I was planning to up it on my social media as an inspirational video. But my father gave me the idea of producing it on digital screen" he concludes.
