Siddhant Karnick gets spooked

Actor Siddhant Karnick, who currently plays a nasty vampire in STAR One’s “Pyar Ki Yeh Ek Kahani”, loves playing pranks on others. But one of his co-stars managed to scare him out of his wits recently.

A source narrates how when his co-star was dressing in the adjoining room of a vanity van, Siddhant decided to scare her by making weird noises from the other side.

“The actress didn’t fall prey as she knew it could be only him, and decided to make her way to Siddhant’s side of the van. But Siddhant decided to hide in the bathroom to convince her that the noise wasn’t a part of any prank.

“While he was hiding, the actress sat quietly in his room and when he thought she had gone away and came out, she sprang upon him and scared him,” said the source.

Siddhant was last seen as the lovable Ishaan Singh Ahluwalia in Sony TV’s “Mahi Way”.
