Sidharth opened up about his life post breaking up with Alia Bhatt and shared, “I don’t think it (our relationship) is bitter. I think we haven’t really met after that to be honest. And it is civil. It’s been a while. It happens. It is like any other relationship. I have known her (Alia) for much longer. I did know her even before we were dating. Not that we met as a particular girlfriend-boyfriend thing. So it’ll remain. It is just a matter of coming back whether it is work, whether it is socialising.”
Sidharth continued by saying that he prefers to preserve happy memories of his time spent with Alia. He said, “I’ve given my first ever shot with her. We were doing that “Radha” song and that twirl. There so much memory and history.”

The actor further added, “There’s been enough time and there’s a reason why two people decide not to be together. There were lots of ups and downs. When you take yourself away from a particular situation and experience, you only think of the good after the event or relationship. So, (there are) all good and happy memories. I’m happy.”
