Shehnaaz Gill Is Not Answering Calls, Phone Switched Off Says Shefali Bagga, She Mourns In Sidharth Shukla’s Death.
Shefali Bagga remembered her happy days with Sidharth Shukla in Big Boss 13, while Vindu Dara shared his condolences for the actor’s family and fans.
The news of Sidharth Shukla’s untimely demise has left his friends, colleagues, and fans in shock. Dr. R Sukhdeve of Cooper hospital confirmed that the actor was brought dead to the hospital on Thursday morning. While statements claim that Sidharth Shukla died after a massive heart attack, confirmation is awaited since his postmortem is still underway.
Disturbed and hurt at his sudden death, his Bigg Boss 13 co-housemate Shefali Bagga shared how the news is yet to sink in. The news anchor-turned actor revealed that initially, she assumed it was a hoax. “Fans were messaging me on social media but it all seemed so unbelievable. Then I started getting calls from the media and realized it was true. I am yet to come to terms with the loss.
Recalling the time spent with Sidharth Shukla in the Bigg Boss house. Shefali Bagga said that he was an encouraging and positive man. She added that even though they had their share of fights and disagreements, he always stood for her, and others, who he felt were right.
“The entire incident that happened where I fought with the other housemates and didn’t let them sleep at night, Sidharth was the one who came forward and explained to me that they were just pulling my leg. Even during tasks, he would encourage me and appreciate my work. I remember he would tell others to perform like me. I spent close to three months in the house with him and made so many memories,” Shefali said.
Remarking that the Bigg Boss 13 winner was fit and took proper care of his health even on the show, Shefali said, “He was probably the strongest among all of us. He was so fit and would be working out and even eating right. When he came back from the hospital after suffering from food poison, he would be so active and always ready to take up challenges. A man so young, so fit to die this way is too difficult to comprehend.”
While Shefali Bagga hasn’t been in continuous touch with Sidharth but would be updated about his life through Shehnaaz Gill, with whom she shared a closer bond. On being asked if she managed to speak to her after Sidharth’s death, Shefali Bagga said, “I had been trying to call her but she did not answer. Now her phone is switched off. It’s too difficult a time for all of us.”
Bigg Boss 3 winner Vindu Dara Singh, who had been Sidharth’s biggest cheerleader in the show, was also quite shaken by the news. He told us, “Our parents and grandparents spoke about Nazar, and I think it’s true. Sidharth was at the top of his career, more popular and loved than many superstars. And look at how it all ended suddenly for him. He has always been so nice to me and I will cherish all my memories with him. My condolences to his family and fans. Please do care for your health, life is unpredictable.
