<br />
==Family==<br />
Siddharth Koirala was born into the Nepalese political [[Koirala family|family of Koiralas]] in [[Kathmandu]], Nepal. His grandfather, [[Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala]] was the [[Prime Minister of Nepal]] in the late 1950s to early 1960s. His great-uncles [[Matrika Prasad Koirala]] and [[Girija Prasad Koirala]] also served terms as Nepal's prime ministers. In January 2008, Siddharth married his longtime girlfriend.<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
<br />
Siddharth entered Indian cinema as a co-producer with his sister for the comedy film ''[[Paisa Vasool]]'' (2004), which also starred his sister Manisha. He also collaborated as a writer for a US television documentary entitled ''Terrorism: Bio Attack'' (2005). His acting debut was in the poorly received ''Fun: Can Be Dangerous Sometimes'' (2005).<br />
<br />
A more serious role was his second venture in the critically acclaimed ''[[Anwar (2007 film)|Anwar]]'' (2007), which also did poorly at the box office. Siddharth took a long break and made a comeback in the directorial debut of [[Rahat Kazmi]], the dark comedy film ''[[Dekh Bhai Dekh (film)|Dekh Bhai Dekh]]'' (2009), which opened to mild responses. He was seen then in a film about the 26 November 2008 Mumbai attacks project entitled ''Deshdrohi-2'', directed by Kamaal R. Khan in 2009.<br />
