MUMBAI: Siddharth Nigam rose to immense fame by playing the titular role in Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat.

His fan base kept growing and continues to do so as he is currently seen in Aladdin: Naam Toh Suna Hoga. However, it is also a known fact that acting was not his first love. Siddharth wanted to be a gymnast.

He won gold at the national level and represented India internationally. An Olympic medal was his biggest dream, but destiny had other plans, and he soon pursued acting. However, he is still very proud of his sport and the fact that he won so many golds. Siddharth recently took to social media to post a picture of the grip glove with which he won and lifted the coveted trophy of many championships.
