Nine years in showbiz and Athar Siddiqui, who has been a part of shows like Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya 2, Tenali Rama, Parvarrish – Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi, and Chandra Nandini, is quite satisfied with the way his career is shaping up. A gaze at his days of struggle, he believes that the phase has made him wiser. He says, “I have been through my share of setbacks but I am glad I could overcome all those challenges and move ahead. When I was new, I came across many people who tried to take advantage of me. My journey in the glamour industry started with my stint as a model in Delhi. I landed in Mumbai in 2013 following my selection as a participant in Mallika Sherawat’s The Bachelorette India. Encouraged by the exposure, I decided to stay back in the city and try my luck at acting.”
