Well, the actor’s views differ in real life than reel life.
After a spectacular entry into television with Sony TV’s Yeh Pyaar Nahi Toh Kya Hai, Namit Khanna who portrays the role of the young, dynamic and successful lawyer Siddhant Sinha in the show, has been getting rave reviews and grabbing a lot of attention.
In the ongoing track, Siddhant is seen fighting a Drugs and Driving’ case. Portraying the shrewd and sharp lawyer on-screen, Siddhant will eventually win the case in favour of his client, the culprit.
However, in real life, Namit has complete opposing views on this matter. He believes that rules are important to discipline the citizens and they must be followed at all times. He strongly propagates self-discipline amongst the youth, especially given that they can easily fall prey to breaking rules and endanger their own lives and their loved ones on the pretext of being adventurous.
Says Namit, “It is disturbing to know so many youths have been losing their lives by falling prey to rash driving and drugs. Delhi tops the chart when it comes to road accidents. The culture of partying and night out is popular amongst today’s youth. But at the same rate, we need to be responsible and also be self-aware.”
Continued Namit, “Nowadays, consuming drugs has become a style statement for youngsters and it is not cool by any means. Injury gives you tears while safety gives you cheers. Bas ek choti si aas hai, naa jaane kahi na kahi koi aapka khaas hai – Be disciplined, be mature and be safe!”
Point well made Namit.
