Siddharth explains why he refuses item songs, wife Aditi Rao Hydari reacts: ‘Real hero for a reason’

Siddharth Rathod and his wife, Aditi Rao Hydari, have captured hearts with their enchanting romance, setting a high standard for love. In an interview with journalist Puja Talwar, Siddharth shared his reluctance to participate in item songs that objectify women. He explained that if he were playing a hero, he would prefer to be a good person, and therefore, he has never done item songs where one woman is surrounded by 40 men who can treat her as he pleases.

However, he is fine with playing a villain who engages in such behavior, knowing that the villain ultimately faces brutal consequences. Aditi shared the excerpt on her Instagram page, captioning the post, "Best boy. Real hero for real…..on screen and off it! ❤️🧿❤️" The couple got married in 2024 (Source: Instagram/@worldofsiddharth).

Psychotherapist and life coach, Della Rajesh, asserts that while love is often associated with grand gestures, expensive gifts, passionate words, and social media displays, it is the quiet, consistent ways in which people show up for each other that truly sustains relationships. She emphasizes that love is experienced through the feelings of respect, emotional safety, and importance felt by one's partner.

Respect is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship, as it is reflected in how we speak during disagreements, honor each other's boundaries, acknowledge each other's dreams, and preserve each other's dignity, even when hurt. Della suggests that these quiet, consistent actions are far more indicative of a strong relationship than grand declarations of love.
