With dreamy looks and a soft demeanour, Sidharth Malhotra is not just a gen X poster boy, but by this most recent admission, he's probably the type of guy you want to take home to meet your parents!

The hunk who will grace the cover of men's magazine GQ India in February 2014, says alcohol is a stress buster for many but he likes to stay away from it.

When asked how the one-film old newbie gets by at Bollywood parties the actor said:

"By making polite conversation. Drinking is a stress reliever for a lot of people but I just don't like alcohol," GQ India quoted Sidharth as saying.

The dishy actor will next be seen as a 'Mr Goody Two Shoes' looking for love in Hasee Toh Phasee. The film is directed by Vinil Matthew and sees him with Parineeti Chopra and hits the marquee next week, 7 February.

Sidharth will also be seen in Mohit Suri's upcoming film The Villain where he is playing a "very conflicted character".
