It’s been almost 3 weeks since Sidharth Shukla left us. The actor passed away on September 2 due to heart attack at the age of 40. His untimely demise has left everyone saddened. Sidharth’s friends from the industry and his fans across expressed disbelief and grief over actor’s untimely demise. However, actress Kamya Punjabi refrained from sharing her sorrow of losing a dear friend, Sidharth Shukla.
In an interview with ETimes TV, Kamya said, “I was very close to Sidharth. Humne bohot saari parties kee hain. But unlike other actors, I didn’t post stories on Instagram to show ki hum kitne close the ya humne last kab baat kari. Jab sab khatam hua, I went to his house, but I didn’t post my conversations with his mother on social media.”
Kamya was introduced to Sidharth by his Balika Vadhu co-actor Pratyusha Banerjee in 2013 and they become friends. However, it was after Bigg Boss 13 that the two grew closer. Kamya shares, “Mujhe kahiin na kahiin aisa lagta hai ki kyu hui woh dosti. Agar nahi hoti toh itna dukh aur itni takleef nahi hota aaj. His untimely and unfortunate demise has hit me so hard that I haven’t recovered from the shock yet. I still can’t accept that he is not there. Mujhe abhi bhi lagta hai woh kabhi bhi phone karega aur hum ghanto baat karenge.”
The actress says she regrets not meeting Sidharth after his stint in Bigg Boss ended. The actress said, “Sidharth would make me laugh, call me after watching a scene from my show, or whenever I visited the Bigg Boss house to ask me maine ye kyu kiya, woh kyu kiya. We used to laugh so much. I regret ki hum phone par hi hasse, mil kar nahi hasse. I got so busy with work that I neglected my friends. But this incident has shaken me to an extent that I want to do that right now. I am meeting my friends and spending time with them ever since Shakti has wrapped up. I want to watch films with my daughter, Aara, and have meals with my mother. I don’t want to regret anything in life. I have realised that life is unpredictable. One has to live in the moment.”
