Siddharth Mallya, son of industrialist Vijay Mallya, is set to make his debut on the small screen as a host and judge of the fourth season of “Hunt for the Kingfisher Calendar Girl”.
The show, to be aired on NDTV Good Times starting Oct 29, is a hunt for a model to feature in the annual glamorous Kingfisher Calendar.
Siddharth will join model-turned actress Lisa Haydon and ace lensman Atul Kasbekar to hunt the calender girl this season. Together, they will be on the lookout for a girl, who boasts of oomph, charisma and has a fit bikini body.
As many as 12 lucky contestants will dive into different avatars and challenges in a bid for a spot on the Kingfisher Calendar.
“Following the decade-long heritage of the Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar, this edition of the hunt for the Kingfisher calendar girl will prove to be more exciting than ever before with larger than life names, a bigger format and a wider canvas,” Samar Singh Sheikhawat, senior vice president marketing, United Breweries Ltd, said in a statement.
Started in the year 2010, the “Hunt for the Kingfisher Calendar Girl” is a platform that provides nascent models an opportunity to prove themselves in the fashion industry and gain instant fame.
The ‘Hunt’ has provided jumpstart to many popular faces such as Himarsha Venkatswamy, Angela Johnson and Nathalia Kaur in the past.
Others like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Esha Gupta, Ujjwala Raut and Nargis Fakhri have also featured on the calendar.
Talking about Bollywood movies, Siddharth says, he is not interested.
“I do not see myself getting into Bollywood. I have no offers on the table or no interest as of now to get into Bollywood,” the 25-year-old said here Friday at the launch of NDTV Good Times’ “Hunt for the Kingfisher Calendar Girl”.
Siddharth, son of industrialist Vijay Mallya and owner of Indian Premier League franchise Royal Challengers, flaunts an English accent. But he says that isn’t a barrier for his entry into showbiz.
“I don’t think language seems to be a barrier anymore in getting into Bollywood. It’s not the language barrier, it’s just something I don’t think I will enjoy doing.
“I haven’t grown up in India, I don’t watch Bollywood films, I don’t think I have the sensibilities to make it in Bollywood and I don’t think the audience will enjoy watching me on screen. I could be completely wrong, but that’s just the way I see it,” Siddharth said.
Siddharth was earlier in a relationship with Deepika Padukone.
who is siddarth mallya and vijay mallay?
what’s going on in here! This topic is entirely not related with Salman or Shahrukh then why u guys are reffering their names.
For me the news here is that Siddharth has broken up with Deepika. Is that true that they r now going out anymore?
Vijay Mallya is the Chairman of Kingfisher group including Kingfisher Airlines & Kingfisher drinking water & Kingfisher alcohol & Beer. Siddharth Mallya is the son of Vijay Mallya. @Anupama,Siddharth Mallya is no longer together with Deepika. Buzz is that Deepika & Ranbir are still together.
After the earlier break up of Ranbir & Deepika ,Karan Johar in his chat show with Deepika & Sonam : Deepika, What advice you would give to Ranbir? Deepika: Ranbir should be a brand ambassador of a condom brand.
@anupama. Yes i broke up with deepu a long way back. As long as my dad’s kingfisher airlines and UB group are in losses, she wouldnt think of reconciliation. Again this time i will be voting for congress. Why?: FDI in aviation, so my airlines back to profits and so deepu will come running back to me to say “sid u r the prince of good times and i am its queen(not the princess)”
F@kin looser..
He knows nobody will cast him in movies..
the idiots fans of salman are everywere.. they dont kno wat to discus and wat to tell…such disgusting people…becos of these guys others are hating salman…
Thanks Rafi! :)
After that comment reporters asked: what is your opinion about Deepika’s comment ? Ranbir: I have no problem if Deepika says that. Youth should made aware of safe sex.
