Bollywood stars not only play important roles in movies, but off screen too, they juggle a lot of hats. Endorsements, sports, NGO affiliations, our stars are more than just an actor and an entertainer today. So, it came as no surprise to us when the young sensation, Sidharth Malhotra was named as the tourism ambassador for New Zealand.

Yes, that’s true!

Sidharth Malhotra (who made his debut with Student of the Year) visited New Zealand to get a first-hand experience of the country’s beautiful landscapes and culture, as a part of his role as the tourism ambassador.

During his recent visit to the foreign country, the young actor also had the opportunity to meet NZ Prime Minister ‘John Key’. And guess what? The PM floored Sidharth with his knowledge about the Hindi film industry.

“Sidharth and the PM had an interesting and fruitful conversation while the actor was in New Zealand. Sidharth has assured Key that he will go out of his way to encourage Bollywood producers to shoot their films there,” revealed an insider.
