Siddharth Malhotra’s directorial debut We Are Family — starring Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal — will release this week. But not many know about him and his family.

Siddharth belongs to a filmi family — his grandparents Premnath and Bina Rai were popular actors. His father Prem Krishen was an actor and producer, who owns a production company called Cinevista. So films was a natural step for Siddharth.

He assisted Vidhu Vinod Chopra on the film Kareeb, when he was only 15 years old. He did a filmmaking course from New York University, and then went on to assist Karan Johar on Kal Ho Naa Ho.

Siddharth is also a trained classical singer, and released an album called Dhun. Modestly, he thought he was not good at it, so he gave it up.
