Bigg Boss 13 winner Sidharth Shukla’s sudden death today (2 Sept 2021) was devastating to fans and the industry alike.
The 40-year-old actor is said to have passed away due to a heart attack this morning.
Sid is survived by mother Rita Shukla and 2 elder sisters. His postmortem is being conducted at Cooper Hospital. It was earlier reported that he had taken his meds and slept, and then he didn’t wake up next morning.
“He was brought dead to the hospital some time ago,” the senior hospital official told PTI. As per News 18 report, Sid’s family doesn’t want any rumours floating around and has clarified to the Mumbai Police that there was no foul play nor was he under any ‘mental pressure’.
In fact, the report further stated that the family members said Sidharth was calm last night; he ate and slept peacefully. They called for an ambulance when he wasn’t waking up. He was pronounced dead on arrival at 10:30 am in Cooper Hospital.
Sid was rumoured to be dating his Bigg Boss co-contestant Shehnaaz Gill. As per a report by Fifafooz, Shehnaaz Gill’s father Santokh Singh Sukh said that she told him Sid died in her arms!
The video said that Santokh had commented – “Shehnaaz ka ro rokar bura haal hai. Usne mujhse kaha ‘papa, usne mere haathon mein dum toda hai. Mere haathon mein woh is duniya ko chhodkar gaya. Ab main kya karungi kaise jeeyungi?” (Shehnaaz is crying and inconsolable. She told me ‘Dad, he died in my arms. He has left the world. How will I live now?)
The reporter further quoted Santokh saying – “Shehnaaz usko subah uthane gayi to usne respond nahin kiya. Usne godi mein usko pakkad ke rakha aur usne koi response nahi diya. Usne mummy vagera ko bulaya” (Shehnaaz went to wake him up in the morning but he didn’t respond. He lay there in her arms. Then she called his family)
Rest in peace, Sidharth!
