Sid Mallya craves for iPhone 6, ready to dump his iPhone 5S

He’s trying to make it or break it in Hollywood, far away from the troubles of his beleaguered and 'wilful defaulter' dad Vijay Mallya.

Still, there’s a bit of the surreal when you encounter Sid Mallya’s tweets.

On the very day when it was being debated whether Mallya Sr should continue on the United Spirits board, this is what was going through Sidhartha’s (as he was once called) head, "Funny how the mind works… suddenly my iPhone 5S seems bulky, outdated and vintage… and it’s less than a year old!"

Talk of bad timing — just when Daddy Mallya’s desperately trying to raise money, Sid is having his iPhone 6 cravings.
