For many people, giving up alcohol can be a difficult choice, therefore when someone succeeds in doing so, it is a victory to be acknowledged. In an Instagram post, Siddharth Mallya, the son of liquor mogul Vijay Mallya, did that. He declared that he had been “alcohol-free” for the past six years. Naturally, his post went viral and inspired many.
I haven’t had a drink in six years today. For those who require it, just a heads up. Nobody knows what’s best for you except YOU. The only person you have to answer to is YOU. He concluded his post with a photo and stated, “YOU are the only one who has the power to make the changes you want to make.”
His wife, Jasmine Santiago, is among the many people who have liked the viral post. In a small ceremony earlier this year, the pair exchanged vows. Friends and family gathered at Vijay Mallya’s mansion in Hertfordshire, UK, to celebrate his birthday.
Others responded to Siddharth Mallya’s Instagram post in a variety of ways. People had mixed reactions to him, ranging from questioning him to praising him for quitting booze.

“Sir, you are truly inspiring many people,” a person commented on Instagram. “Happy 6th,” another person said.
A fourth person said, “Yes, Siddhartha, absolutely the power within you can change any behaviour you are suffering with,” while a third said, “Amazing, looking for the same change in life.” You are an inspiration to others since you achieved your goal.

Siddharth Mallya posted a Facebook video in 2020 in which he discussed his resolve to give up drinking. He started by saying that many may question why a man “coming from an alcohol family” is talking about giving up drinking. He talked about how he made the decision to break this behaviour in order to save his emotional well-being.
