The untimely and tragic death of celebrated TV personality Sidharth Shukla on September 2, 2021, has sent down shockwaves to the entire nation. Shukla’s fans and the entire entertainment industry are unable to process this sad news. The talented actor has reportedly succumbed to a cardiac arrest, informally called a heart attack. Sidharth made a special place in the hearts of audiences across the globe with his stay inside the Bigg Boss house in season 13. Post this show, the actor had an interesting lineup of projects.

The phenomenon of heart attack has been witnessed at large in India these days. In recent years, the cases of heart attack in young Indians have been on a rise. Earlier, heart attacks were a danger sign mostly attached to older adults. But in the 21 century, it has taken the lives of people under 50 years, and that too particularly in India.
Several famous TV and film personalities have suffered cardiac arrests in their 30s and 40s and lost their lives due to the same. The list of such actors is long and includes Rituparno Ghosh (aged 49), Raj Kaushal (49), Vivek Shauq (47), Amit Mistry (47), Inder Kumar (44), Abir Goswami (37), and Aarthi Agarwal (31).
