Siddharth moved to Mumbai when he was very young and was always accompanied by his mom, which made the transition a bit easier for him. The actor didn't have to struggle to find good food because, for him, his mom is the best cook. He revealed, "My mom makes a sweet dish called 'Aaloo ki Kheer,' and it's my favourite. It's very difficult to make, and no one can make it the way my mom does. Even my grandmother and my maternal grandmother can't make it as delicious as she does. If she ever has to convince me of anything or make me happy, she makes Aaloo ki Kheer."
Recalling the early days when he had just moved to Mumbai, Siddharth shared his experience of living in a small room in Karjat. He said, "When I first came to Mumbai, we didn't have any relatives here. So, when I was doing 'Ashoka', we were staying in Karjat. In Karjat, we were given a room, and we lived there for two and a half years. That room had a small kitchen, where my mom set everything up. I would always eat food cooked by my mom. Even on set, I would eat proper meals like dal, chawal, sabzi, and roti."
When asked about his favourite food from Mumbai, Siddharth surprised everyone by revealing that it is not Vada Pav or Misal Pav, but Dabeli is his favourite Mumbai street food. The actor said, "I love Dabeli; I had never tried anything like it before, and I found it very unique." He further continued, "Chaat, Pani Puri, Tamatar... all these things I love in UP. I never tried chaat and all these things in Mumbai because I couldn't find a similar taste."
