Love that chose dreams: Gully Boy Siddhant Chaturvedi's untold college love story

At 18, ‘Gully Boy’ actor Siddhant Chaturvedi was just another boy with big dreams and a bigger heart. He was studying Chartered Accountancy (CA), sitting in the same classroom was a girl he slowly, deeply fell in love with. Love, for him, wasn’t convenient; it was committed.

Every day, he took a local train in the opposite direction just to pick her up, only to return. Time, distance, and effort felt like nothing when it came to her.

Friendship Turned Into Love

What began as a friendship soon turned into a relationship that lasted four meaningful years. But while life seemed settled on the surface, Siddhant’s heart was restless. Deep inside, he knew he didn’t belong in balance sheets and numbers; he wanted to be an actor.

She, on the other hand, dreamed of stability, of marriage by 24, of a future that felt secure. She waited. She understood his pressure, his uncertainty, his hunger for something bigger. And then one day, with quiet strength and immense love, she made the hardest choice of all.

Love Stepped Aside

She told him, “What you want to do is a long journey. I want you to be pressure-free to do it. You go and pursue your dreams. We’ll part our ways. Just remember, you have to make something worth it.”

Love stepped aside so destiny could walk forward. Years later, when ‘Gully Boy’ was released and Siddhant finally arrived, his phone lit up with a message that carried years of sacrifice in a single line: “You kept your promise.”

By then, she was married. Their paths had changed, but the love, pure, selfless, and unforgettable, remained timeless. Sometimes, the greatest love stories aren’t about staying together. They’re about letting go… and believing that love was worth the dream.
