The "Student of the Year" star Sidharth Malhotra, who is seen on the cover of men's magazine GQ India's February 2014 issue, says alcohol is a stress buster for many but he likes to stay away from it.

When asked how the one-film old actor deals with it at Bollywood parties, he 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.

He will next be seen playing a "nice boy" looking for love in "Hasee Toh Phasee", set to release Feb 7. The film also features Parineeti Chopra.


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