Siddharth is buzzing with excitement as he gears up to star alongside Freida Pinto in the upcoming Netflix series Unaccustomed Earth. The Indian actor, fresh off sharing the big news on Instagram, couldn’t hold back his gratitude for this thrilling new phase in his career. And in a sweet shoutout, he thanked his wife, Aditi Rao Hydari, for being his ultimate support.
The series draws from Jhumpa Lahiri’s acclaimed short story collection of the same name. It’s an eight-episode drama packed with emotion, romance, and the vibrant lives of a close-knit Indian-American community in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Think steamy scandals, heartfelt desires, and the push-pull of belonging in a new world.
Siddharth posted a news clipping about his casting and captioned it with pure joy: "Thank you to the Universe. Overwhelmed and so grateful for this next chapter in the dream that is my life!" He called it an absolute honor to join the talented cast, which features stars like Sarayu Blue, Indraneil Sengupta, Adi Roy, and Iyla Sundarsingh Mckaig. Tagging the production teams and director Ritesh Batra, he added, "It’s an honour to be a part of Unaccustomed Earth and to work with such an incredible Cast and Crew. Let’s gooooooo. Thank you @aditiraohydari for being my rock!"
In the show, Siddharth steps into the shoes of Amit Mukherjee, a kind-hearted Bengali-American guy raised in Cambridge. He’s the ultimate friend—always open with his feelings and ready to help others, even if it means putting himself last. Reliable in tough times, Amit faces his own battles with steady jobs and lasting love. Just when a new romance starts looking up, his ex from the past crashes back into his life, shaking everything up.
The series logline teases even more drama: Dive into the elite, tight-knit Indian-American scene in Cambridge, where a forbidden romance between a married woman and her old flame sparks a major scandal. Passions ignite, loyalties shift, and the whole community feels the ripple effects.
Fans of Siddharth’s work in films like Rang De Basanti and Chithha will love seeing him tackle this culturally rich role. With Netflix backing it and producers like John Wells on board, Unaccustomed Earth promises to be a must-watch for anyone into Indian-American stories, immigrant experiences, and binge-worthy dramas.
