Siddhartha Vijay "Sid" Mallya (born 7 May 1987) is an Indian-American aspiring actor who was raised primarily in Britain. He is the son of Indian Businessman Vijay Mallya,[1] the chairman of UB Group (an Indian conglomerate that is primarily in the alcoholic beverages business),[2][3] and the grandson of Vittal Mallya, who was the company's previous chairman.

He has been an online and television host and male model, and is pursuing a career in acting.[4] He registered with the Screen Actors Guild as "Sid Mallya", saying he chose the stage name to try to avoid being typecast in stereotypical roles.[4] He is expected to appear in two upcoming films entitled B Naman[5] and Homecoming.[6]

He has also worked as director of the IPL cricket team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), which is owned by his father, and as a marketing manager for Guinness (a product of Diageo, a large drinks company closely tied to his father's business).

Mallya was born in Los Angeles, California, to Indian businessman Vijay Mallya and former airline hostess Samira Mallya (née Tyabjee).[7] Shortly after his birth, the family moved to England where he was primarily raised.

The show primarily featured players from his cricket team.[14]

Later that year, he appeared as the lead presenter and judge on "The Hunt for The Kingfisher Calendar Girl 2013" on the NDTV Good Times channel.[15] He made his ramp modeling debut during Lakme Fashion Week 2012 as the show stopper for designer Komal Sood.[16] He followed this up by walking for designers Shantanu and Nikhil during Indian Bridal Week.[17]

In the latter half of 2013, Mallya was selected as one of 20 to participate in the ABC Talent Showcase, a platform and training program for aspiring talents, out of more than 7000 applicants.[4][18][19] In 2014, he launched a YouTube show called Sid Sessions.[20]

Mallya is expected to make his feature film debut in the upcoming film B Naman directed by Q and produced by Steve Barron.[6] On Aug 4, 2015, it was announced that Mallya would also appear in another feature film, a dark comedy called Homecoming.[6]
