On Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s birth anniversary, actor Sidhant Gupta, who will soon portray the iconic leader in Nikkhil Advani’s upcoming series ‘Freedom at Midnight’, shared a heartfelt tribute. As part of his tribute, Sidhant Gupta penned a beautiful poem along with a series of rare photographs capturing Nehru’s various facets – standing alongside Mahatma Gandhi, sharing a tender moment with a child, and holding a red rose, his signature accessory that symbolised his spirit and ideals.

For Sidhant, playing Nehru is a deeply meaningful experience, especially after the success of Jubilee. Director Nikkhil Advani, who has praised Sidhant as the perfect choice for the role, revealed that he was “always the first choice for the part”. Sidhant, too, shared that embodying Nehru has profoundly moved him, describing it as an “honor to bring such an influential figure to life”.
