Many congratulations my reel brother Sid and gods blessings as you continue your journey…”

Captain Batra is the real hero of our nation❤️👏👏. Hearty congratulations Sid and entire Shershaah team,” added another. “2 super stars in one Frame,” a third comment read.
Sidharth’s performance in Shershaah has gone down as one of his performances to date. The actor moved everyone to tears with his portrayal of Param Vir Chakra (PVC) awardee Vikram Batra who became the face of the Kargil War. Sidharth’s portrayal not only won fans over but also received much love from the Batra family.
The film will also remain special for Sidharth’s fans for he fell in love with Kiara Advani while making the film. The actress played his on-screen love, Dimple Chinna. Earlier this month, Sidharth and Kiara tied the knot. The couple broke the internet with their wedding pictures and videos. They hosted a wedding party in Mumbai with Vishal Batra joining the couple for the bash.
